Sage,

We have both been very irresponsible with our spending and yes the car was the first large purchase I've made without her consent. However, I did purchase a truck a few years ago and we had discussed getting a truck but she didn't want a full size truck....I did....for good reason. We burn wood in the winter months and a full size 4x4 truck for hauling wood is more practical. I somtimes have to travel farm roads and haul wood over rough muddy roads.

She didn't have a good childhood and has no contact with her mother or father. She always spends way too much money on the kids, especially at Christmas, against my will but I do understand why she does it and forgive her. She is selfless when it comes to our children.

Also, Sage, She has never really encouraged me or told me I'm doing a good job......I'm a defense contractor and I've recently gotten a new job with an $11,000 increase in pay and I've recently been given Project Lead status. I make decent money but our inability to manage our money properly has caused much trouble. And she just recently quit her job.

Thanks for your help.
