Still treading water

April 18th, 2005 at 09:25 pm

Well, I am back with my nose to the grindstone. I am going to retire some day and I need a nest egg. I told the wife I refuse to be in debt. If I can't pay cash I am not buying it. We are still arguing over that. I told the wife I will not carry debt on my cards.

Told the wife I will divorce her from my finances, (Her finances totally separate from mine), if she does not get with the program. I am not going to commit financial suicide. Tough love has got to prevail here. I can see why money problems can lead to divorce! Whew! Folks get testy when it comes to money. I could not print, on this site, much of the arguments I had with the wife. THe good part is we are still communicating and that is something!

Wish me luck. I'll need it!

    I'm sorry you and your wife are having some disagreements about your finances. There's a book I'd recommend, "The Money Trap," by Ron Gallen. His background is unusual, as he's a financial counselor with experience in business and addiction recovery. Compulsive spenders, he believes, are often unaware that their spending habits are extravagant. Often, they need to learn - in detail - their overspending patterns, i.e., on which goods/services they tend to spend excessively. I just finished this book, and you can probably find it at your library.
