But I can’t decide why he quit his job. He’s not being very smart about quitting his job just to bring Jasmine to Michigan. Even if she hates being home alone, he has to work. The only smart people who kept their jobs when their spouse moved up here is a long list but the only person I can think of is Bilal because being a real estate agent in his market is a really good job and I think real estate agents are very well off.
I believe he said he’s an engineer for GM. And has been for 30 or so years (I may be wrong on the years).
Truthfully, I think he is well off. And has been well off. And likely has enough saved to sustain himself for the next year and then some. But he’s not willing to let Jasmine drain him. So this is a way to force a budget as well as see what she’s made of.
Could be wrong. but that’s my theory.
If he’s been with the company that long and with it being in engineering, he could have done very well. First he hopefully put into his 401k all those years, if so, he’d be golden. Also he may be eligible to collect a company retirement pension (they actually had those as a company benefit years ago). They can’t take it away I don’t think if you were hired on with that. Also, if his job is high level enough he could be receiving company stock options and bonuses. So he’s doing fine if he did what he’s supposed to do
