Quote From: sandandsnowI went back to work full time a few years ago, but realized soon after, that my soon to be X continued to spend and spend and fund his hobby, which I did not condone. In the meanwhile, our home needed repairs, a roof, paint, necessary fixes, which were not being done. I found myself, funding his hobby by default. He now has 7 motorcycles, a huge trailer to haul all, and travels to ride. Sounds like denial to me. Bills go unpaid, or get paid late, with major fees, spiral the fees at the bank, etc, domino effect. Priorities changed for sure. Now my goal is to be self sufficient. All women should have their own bank accounts and put half away, not available for their husbands who have no self control to save.
I agree that married couples should have separate bank accounts. My husband convinced me to have a joint account (also a motorcycle addict) and 18 years later, I still don't have enough money to get my own bank account started. That will hopefully change soon due to the fact that I now have more money coming in.
Great Idea!
