My Wife Spends Like A Drunken Sailor

I think Dave is wrong, she isn't the one paying the bills, she has a credit card with a giant limit that he always pays first and they've kept increasing her limit.

How can you earn 150k and be 4 months behind on mortgage payments ?? That man is stupid

It's not obvious to me that, mechanically, she must be the one paying the bills. Could be, but maybe they have joint access to all accounts, and she is spending them down and his checks are bouncing.

Love the Milli Vanilli lip synch reference, one for the GenX ers out here

Divorce would be cheaper

you should lock her out of everything, the house, the accounts and the cars. seriously bud, even if you divorce her you're still going to have to feed her lifestyle

"Dude, but she's hawt!"

This will ruin a relationship

Worthless woman. Divorce. Start over 💯

What's a mortage?

The absolute most I allow any woman to spend is $200/month. Things like grocery shopping, going out to lunch, entertainment, etc we spend while we do those activities together.

If a woman wants anymore she can spend her own money.

If we live together we split the costs of rent/mortgage/utilities.

Any man who funds a woman’s lifestyle has already lost the game.

I make $140K. I divide my income into 6 different banks. Wifey only knows about 2 accounts. Always lie to a woman about your income. “i make about $68,000 a year hunny.”

men these days are so dumb.

Divorce her immediately

I almost didn’t believe it when bitchin came out of Dave so casually 🫨

Horror. This will be a very hard step stopping her.

Never heard Dave cuss

Yes lock her out and if she doesn’t address the concerns, DIVORCE her now!

How can I protect my stock portfolio from the current economic downturn? What's the best way to reallocate my investments to minimize losses?

The mortgage is not paid because HE hasn’t paid it.

This is why U don't ever get joint accounts! Let them drown on their own if they want 2 to do it. Protect urself at all costs! If ur gonna divorce at least go away w/50% instead of 0% plus negative equity! Marriage is NOT guaranteed! Keep that mindset while ur "in love". Ur future self will thank u for it!

This guy needs to get rid of this user and abuser!

You don't solve money problems with money. He could make another $ 200,000. a year and she would spend all of that. The problem is that they need marriage counselling. Money will not fix this so get to the real issue.

This is what happens when you not a real man and you getting bitched in your own house lmaoo I would never go for this ever

I’d have her arrested for fraud.

He needs to nip this in the bud NOW or it will continue and get worse. I know a fellow that is 60 and still lives at home with his mother. His mother pays all his bills that he cannot pay as she still gets a monthly payment from what was left to her by her husband (not his father). When his mother passes away, those payments stop. He buys buys buys and leases new fancy cars every two years. He leases expensive cars and has been doing this for over 30 years. He doesn't pay bills, his mother does. When he didn't pay his taxes, his mother did. He is 60 and has never learned how this works because his mother just paid it and sucked it up. I think this wife is like him. It takes a long time to get someone to change their ways and you want to make sure it's changed before its too late.

Next week the wife writes in and Dave rants about how she's financially abused because her man listened to Dave

1) cancel all credit cards NOW. 2) open a separate account in his name only where he deposits all of his income. Let the other run out of funds and die. 3) FIRST payment emanating from this new account will be paying 2 mortgage Months: the oldest one and the current one. 4) Second is to talk to IRS, discuss a payment plan in, say, 6 - 8 Months and pay it, monthn by month, besides fresh debt. 5) whatever is left is yours to live out of. Of curse, "rice and beans", no new clothing, gadgets, stuff, anything, just basic living. 6) he will do none of that because he FEARS his Wife, so both are doomed.

Another Beta! ,as simple as that!

Love the milli vanilli reference

She doesn't need a spending account from him!! 25k from her job is enough for frivolous spending. The husband needs to take control and lock her out.

I work 2 days a week and I use that money for extracurricular things. I don't need to dip into my husbands pockets, who's paying the house bills.

I hate when people play with their families like that.
She needs to stop ✋ 🛑 .
That’s selfish behavior, they could lose the house common lady.

She took out cards in his name? Oof

this fella is gonna get destroyed in divorce court especially with the alimony. The divorce courts reward women like this all the time

Spell it together kids. D-I-V-O-R-C-E

“She’s bitchin” jeez Dave my kids heard you. Pipe down old man

I know you Christian men love your women, but your women don't always love their Christian men

Of course the guy getting the heat as well 😂

He needs to divorce her immediately

Dave should tell every man on earth to get a pre nup. He won't do that because men would stop calling in about their financial destruction. He needs callers to make money. Men, get a pre nup.

He is the real simp

Get her off any cards, and put her on a budget, pay all the bill on your own, treat her like the child she is acting like.

My husband makes about tge same, and I work making only 1/3 of his salary. But I loved from my childhood thrift shopping or flee market shopping, so everthing i buy is only 1 to 5 bucks,😂 trust me he is very happy about that.

I can’t even wrap my head around this one. She makes peanuts yet doesn’t feel an ounce of guilt in spending all of his money and ruining his life. What a gross human being. Even if she just wasn’t contributing (which would be bad enough) that would give her $2k every month to blow on nothing. How would you ever need more than that?
This is blatant abuse. Block her from all accounts (including your credit cards) and call your lawyer yesterday. She not only doesn’t love you but has shown that she doesn’t care about you at all. Why would you ever stay with somebody like that?! This isn’t a marriage.

He’s a simp and simping to dave

"We are going to pay the bills first before any 'spending' money comes out of the account"......don't like it..get yourself a 150k job or hit the road. I am bringing in all the money so deal with it.

I called it right before I saw it, I knew David was going to find a way to blame the guy🤦🏿‍♂️😂

This gentleman needs to divorce his wife as if the mortgage payments are not paid, they will lose their home.

Grow a backbone

My wife is thw same way despite all of her talk of being a big Dave Ramsey fan. Early on in the marriage she would run the joint account negative by $300-$500 the day before I got my check knowing that her purchases would clear as soon as I deposited the check. I demanded that she stop and now make all of the monthly payments the day I deposit my check and now withdraw the remain cash and keep it in a secure location. She now has roughly a $10k/ month income from a couple of side hustles and maintains her own account along with 15-20 credit cards in her name only with numerous pay in four and other layaway type products and is always strapped and stressed about money. She contributes nothing at all to household expenses and even stuck me with the payroll tax for her side hustle last year.(my income is investment related with no taxes owed)

Both are responsible for their bills. She is not changing. Divorce is the only way to finance freedom from a drunken spender. His spending can't be much better for letting it out of control so long.
No financial advice needed. Start praying.❤❤🤑❤❤
