If she is bepolar , she could be very scary. I ve known a few of those or they are borderline, and they can make a 6 feet 2, 210 pounds man scared for their life. Also, if he ended up in this relationship he may have some issues or have some troubles like adhd or asperger syndrome. Why I say this? Because they have the type of personality that is so soft that they don t know what to do. So, the man up thing is kind of not really appropriate by necessity in this case.

I lived for 20 years in this man's shoes. My ex-wife spent every dime that she could get her hands on. She would drain our checking account faster than I could put money in it. I buried my head and didn't want to face the facts for years. Dave is exactly right when he says that she has a mental condition. It wasn't until I sat down with a counselor who talked to us both that I realized what I had to do. After three sessions she told me that it was a waste of time. the counselor told me that she was unwilling to change and that I had to leave if I wanted a better life. I wish I had done it earlier. I have since taken control of my life and my finances and am in a much better place. Five years after my divorce and I'm now free from debt and a lot happier.

I had a husband like that wife. We were on the dole for a while, so didn't have a lot to spend and they would only pay into a joint bank account. It was the same story every month. A big rush to the bank account to get to the money first, to make sure that the rent and utilities were paid and if possible get some groceries bought in. He'd spend it all on cars and outing with his friends otherwise. He beat me to it one month and spent so much that it got us into rent arrears. Nearly got us evicted and the gas and electricity cut off. He borrowed a bit of money in the end, so we didn't become homeless. It was like living with a toddler. I divorced him after a few years. The chief reason was the money issues.

I truly wish my parents could have heard this. It would have made such a big difference in our lives

[@analafee-diaz7499]

Wow!!! I cant get enough of Dave's tremendously straightforward and Real advice!! Many times its Not what we want to hear, but so much needed!?

[@lisastevens5634]

This guy is beating around the bush in his answers. I wonder what his agenda is.

[@alenrae1370]

I'd like to know the real story...

[@alenrae1370]

I'd like to know the real story...

[@theresa78201]

He will eventually have to explain to his daughter why they can't help with her college and living expenses when he has such a high income. He mentions his daughter's age, year in high school, and college prospects very early in the call.

[@dianeb284]

Dave is right! I'm bad with money. My husband is excellent. So he manages all of the money in his own account. I have my own account (in a different bank) and receive an "allowance." I'm not proud of this, but it works very well for us. Both are happy. I'm sad that my husband is stuck paying all the bills, doing taxes, etc., but it works very well. I'm not depressed, but just bad with finances.

[@eatlikeananimal]

My grandpa was a CEO and gave my grandma an allowance every week. She spent a lot of her time volunteering so it had nothing to do with her character. He was just very organized and kept the finances that way too - he was a great leader

[@nhgriff1]

What you're saying is you can't control your spending. At least be honest!

[@algernonflowers2889]

Going through this right now. Thanks DR for the topic.

[@helenanpham5991]

I saw myself in the husband of this story, and my ex in his wife. He still love his wife too much to accept that she's using him. But one day he has to take away that money and see for himself if she's truly depressed as she said she is or not.

[@john-o1g9p]

hide money? u bet. i worked as a landscaper. often 6 dsays a week in colo. she was a stay at home with disabilities. she tracked EVERYTHING. the leash was way too tight, so i started doing side work to have my ''own money'' cheeseburgers, beer on hot days, etc. NEVER felt bad about it. she died 5 years ago. and when i started doing the bills, i realized we were skating along because she was spending money i found in the stuff she was buying in the closets when she passed...

[@limpfinger12]

this guy runs a business?

[@Dapieguy314159]

Matt Hannel he's wipped

[@quzee5779]

He's hiding something too....

[@ivexified]

Qu Zee no hes just scared to admit she spends 160k a year

[@brianchristopher5807]

😭😭😭

[@teresah.6696]

There's no shame in putting money away and not telling your spouse....whether male or female. If your spouse is a spender you better put money away. Rather that than to be in serious debt or bankrupt.

[@de7904]

Picking a spouse with similar values is so important! They definitely need to get counseling. I don't know if divorce is a good idea because she'll just get alimony.

[@coachb2766]

"Fired up and wired up" 😃👍like that one.

[@RiggyRonnie]

The moment the guy mentioned mental issues the whole argument changed

[@simeoda]

Dave is really helping people

[@cupbowlspoonforkknif]

Also make sure she can't sign up for credit cards or lines of credit!

[@kerinesuccessful7501]

Oh my gosh I love to watch these videos , I learn so much ..

[@kilduce4423]

Wife is running game!

[@jaylen8822]

Gotta man up as head of the household and take care of his wife and finances

[@kilduce4423]

He should've man'd up at the beginning of the relationship.

[@dantheautoman3821]

She’s blatantly stealing from the household

[@smj7916]

Unfortunately some people will say he’s a controlling husband if they found out he controls the accounts 100%.

[@outdoorsnevada4138]

smart man. wish I had done the same. ex wife ran me dry and then ran off when the money was gone. I would hide money away for sure. At minimum the cost of an apartment every month. That way if she dumps you, you have a place to live for a year.

[@coolstar2398]

Outdoors Nevada nah mate your thinking of the cleaver daughter who recommended her father speak to Dave

[@zenlife321]

I have nothing …has 50k in cash in the bank. Good lord 🙄 some guys know how to make money, but have no clue about how to choose a wife.

[@kierafinneke5828]

I really respect Dave after this. I don't have bipolar but I have a similar disorder, and while I have managed my finances well enough, I cannot wait to give these responsibilities over to my husband. Unfortunately, there's no cure for what I have (PMDD for those interested), but these stresses add up and overwhelm and can be taken away. Good advice!

[@KP-rh5qz]

Dave has a good point. I hop things turn out better for this family.

[@buffymcmuffin5361]

Great call Dave.

[@mikerice5298]

BAD call dave jan 2008 said it was no crash coming its on youtube

[@hollyb848]

Yes mr Ramsey! Best advice I have ever heard so far from yur wise words!

[@1dyrfullymade]

Prayers going out for this family...

[@redpill7760]

+Brittany Bell yea praying that he run

[@CerronPritchett]

HA HA HA HA!

[@slomo1562]

He needs counseling. HE knows all the details but HE won't act on it for either her benefit or their benefit as a family!

[@zPrideful]

I dont think this guy makes 260k a year if he does he is spending just as much as she is.

[@mikejackson7881]

Right I call bs...

[@theresa78201]

It's possible they have large mortgage and car payments, and credit card interest is eating away at the rest. The $260,000 is taxable income, which means he must pay federal and Oklahoma income tax before arriving at his takehome pay.

[@donaldrichey3318]

There are some people who spend everything they get and others spend more. He married a person that spends 110%.

[@Havanah2006]

This guy is so frustrating & grow some balls & takes some ownership as well.

[@dortiz81706]

Sani Laomahei nah it’s all the wife’s fault

[@ghostspectre1861]

Dealing with those with depression/anxiety are extremely difficult, especially when you don't understand their "struggle".

[@saolairde396]

You can still be compassionate and limit access to money.

[@morlandoemtp]

Freeze your credit reports also.

[@jackielopez1522]

I have the opposite going on (husband the big expender) and it’s terrible to be in this kind of situation 😓

[@MrGuitargod91]

This dude is scared of his wife. He said, "Easier said than done", are you serious?! It's you're cash bro man up! Geeeeeeesh

[@Perkuleezful]

6:36 Totally thought he was going for the mute button there for a second LOL

[@CryptoSt3ve]

“The money, it’s erased TO ZERO.”

[@rayc3103]

I think he said "it's a race to zero".

[@mainmam620]

Start moving your assets into a series of off shore trusts and pay her what you want. If she wants to leave she wouldn't see a dime. Thats ridiculous

[@timaram4880]

That awkward moment Dave Ramsey pulls out a calculator while your speaking

[@carerforever2118]

I just opened a new bank account yesterday and on top of that started putting money in a PayPal wallet. Been thinking of getting a reloadable prepaid Visa debit card to store/hide my money on as well. Got a few non-expiry gift cards too. Also l purchased some gold and silver coins and nuggets, and have them hidden away.

[@pihla01]

I feel like this guy just wanted to bash his wife and hoped Dave would laugh with him like "hahaa, your wife is stupid and out of control" and feel superior to her. Dave gave a great answer, this is not a laughing matter and HE needs to ALSO take responsibility on what's going on. >:/

[@mylizzycuevas]

pihla01 to me he sounded embarrassed and hurt. He obviously loves his wifey but their relationship is toxic.

[@Lumara]

I would ditch a spouse who spent all my money like that.
