I am totally burned. Some extra work came up but so did some unexpected bills. I don't spend any money on most days.
The bills are being paid and sometime by April/May of next year I'll be out of debt completely, God willing.
The wife ran up a 794 dollar overdraft on her debit card. Sometimes I can understand why some things can make a fella cry. I had to explain to my wife that 21.9% was an obscene amount of interest for her overdrafts. I don't understand this sickness of spending. Truly, I don't. I can really see why it is the number one cause of marital break ups.
In any case I keep plugging away at it. I hate the debt. I hate the constant scrimping and doing without while the wife is oblivious. Why clip coupons if you are running up overdraft bills. My wife even insisted I get her a new credit card. Maybe I will be leaving home in the near future. I am just so tired of this nonsense.
Gosh, I am so tired of this.
Still Hitting the brick wall !

Is your wife stressing about your health issues? is she worried that she is not pulling her share of the income?? is she simply an irresponsible spender? Every situation is different and I encourage you to consider counseling to uncover any 'fixable' problems.
In any case...good luck to you!!

for example... a guy who overeats, because he never was given enough food as a child, and never felt full... he shops at the dented can store daily.. he is very frugal, food was precious to him as a child, and told to him daily to eat every bite.
some ppl. are impulse shoppers... it is just like playing cards, you have to know when to hold and when to fold..if you want to purchase an item, research it, compare prices over at fw website, then decide when you can actually purchase the item.. learn patience..make a game out of it.
i think your wife needs someone else to tell her things.. she doesn't want to comprehend what you are saying...
it is never a good thing to yell at each other.. leave the scene, until she is in an agreeable mood...hope this helps.
