[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

1. She sounds like she has anxiety. Ask her to see a therapist.

2. Get credit reports from all the agencies, then lock your credit. This will prevent side credit cards. Do this because you are “concerned about criminals stealing your identity”.

3. Then separate finances. Tightly budget everything. A home decor budget. A home repair budget.  A gifts for family budget. Gym and personal trainer. Her car (She needs to start saving for a new one, even if she has one. At your income level, you should be paying cash.) Family eating out. Vacations. Clothes for her. Kids. [b]Then let her pay for all the fun.[/b] Everything that makes life as sparkle, except your personal discretionary budget.

4. Then help her use an app like Monarch to manage the budgets to her that she’s interested in. Sure, she can do four activities for the kids, but she’ll need to dip into one of the other budgets she controls. Maybe she can buy clothes from thrift stores. Maybe she can agree to go no-gifts with extended family.

5. You pay all the bills out of your money. Ensure your retirement is fully funded. You probably need her to put the rest of her money towards her own retirement and the mortgage. Watch carefully to ensure her mortgage payment comes in every month.

6. Meet once a month over a glass of wine to go over the budget.

7. I wouldn’t divorce right now, but don’t encourage her to quit, because you’d owe her alimony. [/quote]

Just realized I left out an important step.[/quote]
