not going to lie, this was the last thing I expected to read on here when I logged on . . . I feel your pain.
Maybe I'm reading into things a bit much, but if your online ing about your wife's poor impulsive spending habits then I'd also guess the problems are a rooted a bit deeper.
Something else to consider: there are worse things she could have spent the money on.
It's not that she spent money she did not have, but the money she spent now would have had to be paid back over the next year or so. In the next year if something happened and she needed the Emergency money, it would have not been there.Quote:

Maybe she didn’t want to go on vacation and is planning on selling the house..............Quote:

I've been married 47 years. No big money decisions are made without mutual agreement. Each of us has an "allowance " that we can spend as we wish - no questions asked. That has worked well for us.
It's not the spending, it comes down to "IF" an emergency came up before she paid the visa balance off. I do not want her to have that kind of problem.Quote:

You are right , there should be an emergency account , for newer know ,

sure she spent some extra money, which wasnt wise if what your explaining is true but maybe she wanted her niece to be more conformable staying as you mentioned for college women get carried away sometimes i guess, especially when decorating ahha.
