If you read my intro thread, it was classic sidewalk stuff. For a tl;dr, i made 100k a year out of high school, blew threw money, when i quit that job, the lifestyle dwindled. My wife eventually wouldnt even let me touch the bank accounts or cash for fear of overdrafts or w/e.


8 years later and a whole lot of restraint i know how to live on a budget, thats no big deal. But every turn i take not only do i have to fight through the day to day shit in life with business management, but i also have to fight with her skepticism and getting my weekly 'allowance' if you will.

any ideas on how to fix this, its literally the truest sense of the *most* classic case of my money is her money and her money is her money.

It makes me want to kick babies.
