Never marry a spender. Especially one that spends more than they earn.
I'm a woman/wife, Dave is right. This is the right thing to do. You have to save your family from her destructive behaviors.
My boss got served divorce papers when he tried to stop his wife from spending all his money😬
I’ve worked too hard to let my savings slip away. Making six figures a year means nothing if my spouse’s spending leaves us broke in retirement. I finally took control with a strategy that protects our future—and you can too.
This is always a touchy subject in relationships. One of the individuals in the relationship tries to manage the money and undoubtedly becomes the bad "guy".
Had a wife that did that.Left her and amazing how much money I saved over just 10 yrs
A good wife also means mental health maturity not just looks
Telling your wife that she has a mental illness? I want to be there for that conversation.
Many of us live beyond our means. And the more we make, the more we spend. Good way to create a lot of stress in your life.
These are the type of situations that should get resolved (or properly dealt with) before you walk down the aisle.
People should discuss finances before marriage. Your spouse is not an atm card. In real life just love is not enough.
The guy is divorced now for the better. And since she spent all he’s nothing to devide
"If you love me, you'll let me spend your our money on whatever I want." "If you don't, you'll be spending your our money on MY lawyer!!! 😡"
Ya he takes control of the finances then at the inevitable divorce trial she will complain about how controlling he was.
Getting on the same page with a partner is challenging enough. When impulsive spending with little shares purpose interferes, it is a sign of deeper trouble. It could be mental illness, depression, bipolar disorder, hoarding disorder or more. Working with a counselor is a start
Honestly this was me and I finally came to my senses and I’m not on my husbands account and honestly I feel it’s best that way 😅 I started my own savings and have completed baby step 1 now and whenever I need anything my husband will give me the money for it but no more frivolous spending
They should be planning all purchases together. Shop together. Buy for the kids together. Sit down with a budget set for the futeure and retirement. Work together. No boat. No second home. No huge vacations. Live within your means together. No lavish parties.
I bet that conversation will work out well 😂
Every woman I know would say that him taking away his wife’s access to the accounts constitutes financial abuse.
