If your spouse is spending money like crazy, how do you get her to slow down spending? Until now, I have said nothing about her spending. Mostly it has meant that we spend what we make. But now her monthly spending is greater than our salaries, so it is coming from our savings. Last week she spent almost $1000 on clothes for herself as one example.
On our anniversary a few weeks ago, in an email exchange, she said, "we're not getting each other gifts right? because we've been spending too much, and by we I mean me." So she is aware of the excessive spending. BTW, she did buy me a gift that came the day after our anniversary, and I think she bought the gift after she received flowers I bought her and had delivered to her office.
