First, answer the question: what does it mean for you? For someone it's not enough - when a man does not give a gold ring once a week, and for someone - when he can not buy a chocolate for your child. Therefore, before thinking about what to do if the guy does not work very hard, they decided on how high your demands are. If he, for example, a student and earns part-time work, you simply have no right to demand from him something supernatural. The guy is trying so hard to have his money. Therefore, one does not need to make an offended face every time and reproach a young person if he can not lead you to an expensive club or restaurant. Despite the fact that he earns little, the young man tries to give you attention and make it nice. And this is the most important thing. To wonder what to do if a guy does not get enough, it is possible when it strongly affects your joint life and material condition. For example, he earns little and you have to work from morning till night, just to feed the family. Or the guy gets a little, that's why you are constantly starving, you can not afford anything and live a gray routine life. But, before judging a person, it is necessary to understand why a guy can not receive more.
Always remember that the reasons for this are very diverse. So think and honestly say: why can not your loved one earn more?
Perhaps it's his specialty. Agree, because now a lot of graduates can not find a decent job in their profession, because they are too many and jobs are not enough. And, probably, your guy still found a job in his specialty and now holds on to it, being afraid of losing the way to somehow make money. In this case, you have two choices: to get a young man to change his job or to reconcile himself to this state of affairs. If you decided that you want to force the guy to change jobs at any price, then honestly tell yourself how real this is.
Of course, we like to idealize our close people, but, nevertheless, if you understand that for some reason a guy simply can not work on a better-paid job, then he does not have to force him. You should not develop an inferiority complex for a person. But, if you know that he is simply afraid to change the place of work, so that you do not have no money at all, then decide for yourself whether you can support the family while he is looking for a new job. If this is possible for you, then offer him such an option. Of course, a young man can refuse, arguing that he does not want to live for your money. In this case, do not be angry with him and talk about how his meager salary will not help you. Understand that with such words you simply humiliate a person and tell him that he can not achieve anything, and that what he wants is not necessary for anyone. Therefore, try to explain to him correctly that you really appreciate and respect his work, but you think that with his knowledge and skills he could earn much more. That's why you advise him to look for some other job on which his work would be valued more and paid for in accordance with how he works. You can still support your family, because you know and believe - it will find a decent job and you will pay off. So do not worry about money, but you need to try to achieve more in life, because he deserves it.
But, there may be another option, why a young man earns little. And the main reasons for this are laziness and lack of initiative. In this case, the guy absolutely does not care where he works and how much he earns. He just found some work, because it must be, and gets as much as paid, not wanting to even strain again, thinking about how to make your life better, and work - more paid. With this type of people is very difficult to fight and something to prove them. They are really, often, satisfied with their lives and do not want to change anything. They can walk in ragged jeans and starve, just to do nothing and not strain. To convince such a person is possible only if you click on something really important in his psyche. Therefore, you can convince him to find a better-paid job only if he loves you and cherishes you. Only then can you manipulate them, kinda. Tell the guy that you love him too, but you can not live half-starving, so you ask him to take a bit more serious attitude to work and wages. If he does not want to do anything and somehow change his life, you just can not be with him. And it's not that you want to have untold riches, but what you think about the future, about the family, and you understand that you can not pay for everything yourself. Therefore, if he does not take up his head, then you will have to part.
There are also those guys who do not earn enough, because they know that, if necessary, she herself will pay all the expenses. If you have taught your young man to this style of life, stop until it's too late. Otherwise, he will never work properly and will simply live at your expense, absolutely not paying attention to the fact that you are torn at work. Therefore, if in your pair this is the situation, stop giving him money and explain why you are doing this.
In this case, the young man will either take over his head and begin to work normally, or you will part, and he will go looking for another woman who can support him. In any case, you will remain only in the win, as in any family, a woman should not take on both women's and men's responsibilities.
