i'm worried

my husband is not where he should be in his life...actually, where he wants to be in life...i told him that he should get his GED and then he can take classes to get ahead but to me, it seems like he would rather bitch about everything than to actually do something about it. i love him and i want to see him do better. i don't have a college education but i will be taking classes to have that on my resume...who wants to be in their fifties and still pulling crap pay...i want him to do so much better than he is and i am afraid that he won't..he gets depressed easily and when he does, he literally drains the life out of me...i just want him to do better so he will feel better about himself...is that too much to ask?
