Default Re: Husband lying about spening money/spending money when none in bank..!!!

candy? pizza? beer?

when we hit the financial skids a couple of years back, i'd come home from work and lay down on the foot of the bed with a calender. in that day's square, i'd re-balance our finances for the day. some days i'd have to borrow from tomorrow to balance today.

it was a stressful excercise, but one that helped me understand what my wife was going through daily. and it helped me understand that "we don't have any money" meaned exactly that. and it meant no "candy/pizza/beer."

ask him to do the calender. maybe it'll wake him up.
