[@inkedamzel]

When the guy says he doesn't know he does cash advances, 3 options: 1- he has a mistress or hookups 2- the cash advances are automatically withdrawn when his account goes in the negative. 3- He has an addiction, gambling for example. Due to the fact they say it's cash, I'm pretty sure he's a cheater or gambler! I mean... was. Pretty sure they didn't make it as a couple.

Hubby and I used envelopes for budgeting the day we got married. We were married for 51 1/2 years when he passed. We always lived beneath our means. We split bills according to income. If I made 60% of our total income, I put 60% of my income into the family budget. Worked great all the years together. We. both always knew what the bills were and what our savings were.

[@MomtoZnE]

I feel like those who receive child support should have track expenses and it should be adjusted accordingly. If you’re shacked up and not paying rent or utilities, and instead using the child support you would have used on yourself, then it should be adjusted to not include housing costs. Might also help cut down on divorced mothers dragging their children from relationship yo relationship.

It amazes me how many of these couples say "my money." It's not your money. You marry someone, the money becomes both of yours. You don't have to merge accounts or give up personal responsibility, but you don't get to say it's not your debt, or the money you make is 'yours.'

[@jenniferbraun7269]

I feel odd because I'm always referring to my husband's money and when he goes grocery shopping, I ask if he wants half from "my money". He has told me so many times it's ALL both of ours. I don't deserve him.

[@kibblenbits]

Notice they lumped the income together? You can tell the house is probably her's from her previous marriage. I'll bet she makes more in just child support (ex must have made much more money), than he does working, with all the child support he owes. He's the "father" of 4 kids, but can't stay focused enough to complete a simple budget on his own, because he could care less. His problem is that he's never grown up (probably never will) and I'll bet he's done this to every woman he's been with. Don't know where all the money from his cash advances goes? This woman is lying to herself. Hope she dumped him, because this kind of guy is a dime a dozen, not worth the time or bother, and she could end up with an STD.
