Where do I begin?

I’m currently 24 with a wife and a 3 month old son, I’m looking to move my family out of Connecticut to a place that suits us a little bit better. I didn’t go to college nor have a degree. I do have a very diverse skill set. I’ve worked for manufacturing companies, insurance brokerage, and the medical field. With this being said every where I look a lot of the jobs are looking for fresh graduates. The last thing I would hate to do is put my family in a position of struggle across country compared to staying here in CT and building here. I make a decent amount here and finances is something that keeps me in fear of moving. Where do I begin with this?

What is going on?

Is anyone’s else day trading strategy just not hitting anymore? I went green all week last week but it was slow, I can’t seem to understand the market right now to make any noticeable gains I feel out of touch with the market and not in sync. Usually if I have a bad day I can understand where I went wrong but right now the market just doesn’t make sense. One moment there’s a lot of volume next moment it’s just dead, retest are happening the way they’re supposed to it feels like it’s just moving randomly. It’s starting to affect me mentally and I don’t know if it’s me or just the market?

Hello, I’m a male looking to get an outside perspective from my fiancé, we have a 3 month infant and it is both our first child. We don’t have much support and she is a newly SAHM. I cook and clean to the best of my ability Sunday to Sunday and cover all of the expenses and offer her money to take time to herself, I do the laundry drop offs and pick ups by myself or sometimes it’s a family trip just to get out of the house. Most of the time I go to the grocery store by myself and I’ll come up with a list for what is needed at home, unless we do a family Costco trip. I work 40+ hours a week and Monday through Friday after work some times I’ll pick up a quick gig for extra income. When I get home I’ll usually hold my son for a little bit to give my fiancé a break after a hour and a half I get started on cooking and usually finish at 8. After that I’ll usually get my fiancé and son ready for bed then clean the kitchen and after that I’ll finally get myself ready for bed. I understand being a stay at home mom is not easy and understand the depression that can come from being cooped up in our apartment, I don’t wish that for her. But as of lately we kind of been bumping heads on household duties and how tired we both are. With no support it’s becoming a push on each others limits. I’m fearful that she’ll leave me but at the same time I’ve been pushing myself to the limit time and time again and I feel like I’m losing sense of control and myself. A lot of the things she wants help with is our son and with him being three months he is extremely active and can be a lot. With him being our first I’m still learning how to be a father and with her being a first time mom I understand her anxiousness when it comes to me just doing my own thing with him. I try to take over but things to her have to be on a schedule or it won’t get done, to me I have so much to do in a day that when I get around to it I do it and I do as good of a job I can. He’s also breastfed so I know that is also a lot for her. Can anyone please tell me what else can I do to support this household without having to check out mentally and just be on autopilot?
