For anyone claiming this is just a problem related to self-discipline clearly doesn't understand the nature of this psychiatric disorder.

My adopted cousin was diagnosed bipolar at age 10, and he would routinely disappear from my aunt and uncle's house for days on end during manic phases, only to be found by the local police department, not having slept for 72 hours, living behind the local Winn Dixie.

bob marker being bipolar myself my husband and I have struggled with this. I can practically guarantee you that if the disorder had that big of impact with their money then their relationship was probably a bigger one hit harder. When I’m in a mixed state on the higher end of manic I start unintentionally scheming these massive plans and my husband will tell me no a hundred times but I can suddenly without realizing it manipulate him into agreeing as if he no longer has a say like a sick sales person. He’s feared that I would leave him or commit suicide if he didn’t just go along. Even though she has the diagnosis the spouse is always in the spinning cycle too.

[@bobmarker6812]

Common with this behavioral (not scientific/chemical) diagnosis is reckless spending and overall bad decisions. It’s even more problematic when he gets arrested and jailed by the police for these extreme behaviors (in addition to bail and lawyers, also fines/court costs)! Plus, his third marriage is breaking him and he’s become a poor man as a result.

They'll be out of consumer debt with a huge rainy day fund within a month. They don't have to do any of that.

[@dawnt5587]

Excuses. Everybody’s got one.

[@ramonuy5567]

Feel good to spend MONEY

[@wolfofdubai]

This is really a lot of money. Invested in stocks this would be 8,000,000 in 10 years!

[@mr.clutch3446]

Wolf of Dubai Stocks Investing Channel not exactly... good try.

[@iliyahristov5565]

Or it can be 0 $ in 2 years

[@NicE-jq3wv]

And they only see half of that after taxes.

[@jamesl.7725]

Holy moly.

[@craiginzana]

I want to hear this same episode with someone that doesn't make $100k+ a year.

[@teebone2157]

imagine if they lived below their means. They would be millionaires in no time. I dont understand how people can earn a great sum and think they have ot have a luxury car and mansion. I know a guy that makes 110k a month and he drives a Kia and lives in a cul de sac. the most expensive thing he owns is a apple watch lol

[@JK20239]

Why apple? He could have settled for a 100 dollar casio...lol

[@CountrySingerWannabe]

She needs to keep working with her doc, Dave separates mortgage debt for a reason. 890 k in cc and student loans now that’s a dire situation

[@YoungMoneyHotSpot]

Because a mortgage is secured by the house, so in most cases a sale of the property will wipe out the debt. Same isn’t true for cc and student debt (unsecured)

[@mikeekim007007]

Sounds like a cop out to me. Husband needs to lock down the books, and give her access to only a small amount.

[@wanefelicia8779]

Exactly

[@ret4kind]

Or she can just learn self-discipline.

[@rebeccashields9626]

Liliy White bipolar disorder isn’t just “self control.” It’s a real mental illness that cycles between manic and depressive states. Absolutely the husband should control the books and give her an allowance, and she should follow a strict regimen with her meds and counseling. But saying it’s just a matter of self control is silly.

[@ret4kind]

@@rebeccashields9626 What's silly is a grown adult using "bipolar disorder" as an excuse when she did it because it makes her feel good. And feeling good and self-discipline work in opposite directions. The best thing for him is to divorce her because you can't fix silliness.

[@rebeccashields9626]

Liliy White do you know anyone with “bipolar disorder?” The fact you put it in quotes makes me think you don’t think it’s real. Consider yourself lucky you have the ability to think it’s not real because for the people with it, their families, and the healthcare providers who take care of them it is very real and can be debilitating without treatment.

[@tjames2376]

I feel this caller all the way , I dig myself n jump back in ,dig myself out n jump back in and I know the principals imagine someone who doesn’t make six figures going thru this ,thank you caller I’m woke 💵

[@eckankar7756]

I wonder how many of Dave's callers are undiagnosed bipolar?

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

$280K???

[@pants8029]

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1992, but I've never used it as an excuse.I paid off my mortgage and all my debt this year.

[@1yasin6]

it isn't the same with everyone. sure you shouldn't use it as an excuse and don't try to work on your behavior. But different people have different symptoms

[@hmrobert7016]

She’s paying off her debt and managing her condition. Where is this “excuse”??

[@mangoryder7139]

I don’t buy this excuse.. my obesity forces me to overeat 🤣

[@TheNewburyTribe]

Dave I'm debt free but it's hard to stay debt free when I'm having credit cards thrown at me from the bank and I need to take credit out in order to get credit up, to buy my house. Is there any hypnotherapy I can have to take away the craving to spend all the time 😩 it's hard to practise the art of waiting when I can have it Now

[@ronwhiteleo3352]

He can't baby sit this woman 24/7... .sell the house, get back to the fundamentals that are taught in FPU.. .

[@journey2zee]

Dave’s face in this thumbnail is everything 😂

[@pimpballer3]

Blame your problem on a disorder

[@edkennedy7952]

They have a handle now for all types of stupidity.

[@yellowtrain3161]

You made a lot of money....meaning that someone saw it fit to put you in charge of something worthy of earning a good income. Which, is twisted.......I feel sorry for the people who have had to work under you and or with you, and I can only imagine the damage YOU have caused to others. Seriously makes me SICK!!! I can’t imagine making $280k a year, and I try extremely hard to keep my mind straight while working with pennies!! I don’t feel sorry for this lady or her situation. She is wreck less and dangerous.

[@Garthman03]

Manic episodes can be crazy..

[@stevehargis6880]

He didn't look like it was an honor to speak to her, haha

[@dcamnc1]

Is this a repost? It seems like I heard this one the other day.

[@wread1982]

They should of spent all that money on a small, mid and large cap index fund and a few good blue chip stocks like home depot, Costco, target 🎯

[@jeffkline9191]

Husbands fault. Go figure.

[@cutehumor]

Click bait

[@MoD3RnHD]

Where is the eye roll emoji when I need it

[@ChubbyBlumpkinz]

Misleading title. Thumbs down. Had to do it. Disorder didn’t cause her to spend ~900k.
