A friend got married. His wife felt like being married meant new house, new cars, new clothes, new everything. He was still working on getting his degree.

@eddiemalvin

Never marry a spender.  Especially one that spends more than they earn.

@clemily5898

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.

@gabepaz2640

My boss got served divorce papers when he tried to stop his wife from spending all his money😬

@Campbell-w3c

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.

@bobwhammer4237

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".

@johnrhue4587

Had a wife that did that.Left her and amazing how much money I saved over just 10 yrs

@kolymogaming

A good wife also means mental health maturity not just looks

@bobmcdoggish9659

Telling your wife that she has a mental illness?  I want to be there for that conversation.

@iTried-cr4to

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.

@kellymurray8376

These are the type of situations that should get resolved (or properly dealt with) before you walk down the aisle.

@justanotcoolmom

People should discuss finances before marriage. Your spouse is not an atm card. In real life just love is not enough.

@martinwegner9802

The guy is divorced now for the better. And since she spent all he’s nothing to devide

@FourFourSeven

"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!!! 😡"

@MichaelWalker-ej7dm

Ya he takes control of the finances then at the inevitable divorce trial she will complain about how controlling he was.

@valerielowe8637

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

@ei42877

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

@sharongrischenko

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.

@Zack.G23

I bet that conversation will work out well 😂

@jamesmavis577

Every woman I know would say that him taking away his wife’s access to the accounts constitutes financial abuse.
