How to get my wife interested in RE?

I am fairly new to real estate investing. As I would expect from most newbies I am very excited about the potential and already have a couple deals under my belt. I am focusing on turnkey buy and hold properties at the moment.

My issue is that my wife couldn’t be less interested. She is supportive, and let’s me do what I want, but has absolutely no interest in learning anything about it. I would like her to have at least a basic understanding of what I am up to, but she literally glazes over when I try to talk to her about it.

I recently read Rich Dad Poor Dad, and really liked the way the information was presented. The author used a lot of stories that were easy to follow, not just number crunching like some books. I asked her to read the first chapter and explained why, but she has flat out refused.

Anyone else have a similar experience, or have any suggestions on how to include her?

My wife's journey. 

SFHs 1-3  "What the !#$@!# are you doing!

SFHs 4-8 "Well, whatever, do what you want"

SFHs 9-12 "Hmmm, this might be ok"

SFHs 13-17 "Wow, this is cash flowing life. I am so !#$@!# glad I thought of it.

SFHs 18-21 "What are we buying next and hand me another margarita"
