I ran the numbers today, and it appears we'll be struggling financially before the end of the year. I'm not sure what to do other than explain it to my wife and see if she can cut back on expenses. Keeping up two places, and the price of two years worth of fun has taken its toll. Eventually, I'll have to start dumping stocks and property to get cash.
Good grief what a mess.
Mtmn, school started here too. Yes, adds a level of hectic that didn't exist during the summer months.
Do you have a budget with the W? Does she work? Seems to me, it is time for you to make a budget and show her the expenses and talk about the finances. Doesn't mean it will change anything, but then you can transition to "here's your money and that's it" type of approach and let her live with her choices and within her budget.
