CN, ----------------------------- Have you always taken a calm, logical approach to solving money problems? No one wants to concede fiscal irresponsiblity. Maybe your financial planner friend can give you some advice about the best way to go about getting your W to fess up about all her financial blunders. Sovling this problem together may open up avenues to solving other problems. ------------------- I cant say as I have always been Finacially responsible. I think some times I need to be hit over the head with a hammer. I havent really shared too much with W about F as she would always seem disinterested or even told me on one occation that she found it "icky".
This is part of the problem that I see in our R. We both seemed to put our heads in the sand and continue on status quo. Now that I am trying to deal with difficult issues it seems to be causing alot of greif, mostly because Im asking the difficult questions and taking both of us out of our comfort zones. But it has to be done.
My financial advisor did suggest that I show W the total that would be paid in interest alone from continuing down the CC path and the savings that would happen if a loan or line of credit was used. I think that if I show W the bottom line as it were that maybe she may realize what I am saying. I can only hope that she is willing to swallow her pride and face the financial reality of life and kids.
