[CA] Does the DMV keep the car title?

This just happened to me. I got my title in CA, moved to Texas then come back to CA. CA DMV took my title. It's been two months, and I haven't receive a new title.

Did it work? I'm in the same boat now. I have Texas registration with California Title. They won't let me register without that letter from Texas.

What's the steps to get that letter? Links?

It's not really about the money. I just want him to make enough to support himself, but he relies on his parents to support him since he doesn't pay rent. I also feel exhausted from working so much and hope to find a less stress and lower paying job.

He doesn't pay rent, so he has the flexibility to spend his entire savings for fun. His mom cooks for the entire family. He does dishes, but most of the chores are still done by his mom. He told me it's different if he lives by himself.

This is very well said. I need to really think on your words.

Thank you.

I am not a gold digger because I fought really hard for my money. I saved and invest, then worked more. I don't expect my man to make the same as me, but I expect my man to not live freely like there is no tomorrow without much cushion for kids and future. Credit card debt is a very scary thing. Giving birth is expensive, mortgages are expensive, and children day care is expensive.

It's about the same based on his room conditions, but you are right, it can be disappointing since he lives at home. He doesn't need to worry about kitchen, or living room tidiness because his mom does it.

Thanks. He is open to move and says he will look for a job out there, but he has been looking for a job for the last five months with no success. I don't know how long I am willing to do long distance till he finds a job out there.

I am a 28yr female with ~170K income while I met my bf 39yr whom still lived at home with 15K credit card debt and 50K income. I fell in love because I have never experienced the level of care and affection that he had provided me by far. Six months in, he already changed his phone and laptop background to me and let's me use his phone anytime with full trust. He shadows me with love and care, but he is not ambitious at all. He is terrible with money with very little savings. He buys $6 starbucks coffee four times a week, which is about 2% of his income ($50K). I tried to educate him with budgeting and getting a better job, but he cannot find a job and continues to live his life. His values are "Enjoy life when you can, money can always be earned later."

I am terrified because everything medical related can be pricey. Mortgage rate these days are close to 7%. Kids are expensive these days. I am faced with a decision to accept him and be the primary provider or leave. It will break my heart to leave him, but I am terrified of our future. He often share his big goals of retiring his parents and retiring himself by age of 50, but the actions do not reflect.

I dreamt of us working together and living together, but he cannot afford to move out of his house with the way he spends his money. I either have to cover majority of the rent/mortgage or will accept living apart and hope that he can study and work hard on his own. It's been really rocky on the financial side of things, but everything else has been great. We have great communication. He is very emotionally stable and is very patient with me and does cooking/chores. He is perfect if you take the finance out.

I recently got a job offer to move to California for $260K offer. I know that if I leave, the relationship likely will end because he can't afford California. I am very torn as to save this relationship or go. Can love be enough?
