I'm not hopeful that Obama or Romney will restore America. Both are controlled by the same bankers. America has been on a rapid decline for many decades. It would take a series of true statesmen (and/or women) in the office of President of the US and within Congress for us to once again be a...

"A penny saved is a penny earned" ~Benjamin Franklin While we may not have won the Mega Million lottery or had Ed McMahon ring our doorbell, we can have financial victories! My husband and I have been couponing, seriously, for about four years and have saved thousands of dollars! Today's...

I'm not a doctor, but I think you should see one too. Perhaps after some blood work and other tests they can make some determinations. You would hate to find out much later that you could have done something simple, like take vitamins or herbal supplements to help your body chemistry. But...

I need to stand firm on this. I will not take responsibility for my husband lying, hiding out, and flying solo. If I do that we will move backwards and all of our recent progress will be lost. As for showing your spouse a contract or not, well in our marriage it's an expectation. Each...

He fully admits that he's been placing undue blame on me when he says "I didn't want to worry you" and "I was just trying to make you happy." It has taken almost 11 years for him to get to this point, where he can admit that keeping important information from me and being the lone ranger is not...

Hi MKGal! No worries! I was definitely in shock over the latest events that occurred with my husband and it's very scary seeing what this may cost our relationship and our family. I think you're right about attitude leading to behavior. It's an ongoing challenge for me in this situation...

It's definitely not about anything being "right" in my eyes...I've made that clear to him from the beginning. My desire is for him to please God and I've made that as clear as I know how. When he lives for God, then a by-product of that will be a great marriage for us. If he is focused on...

Hi MKGal! Maybe ironic was a better word...idk, I don't always have the perfect attitude when life changing bombs are dropped in my lap. Thanks for letting me vent a little. :-) The bottom line is that he needs to start to be honest, open, and communicate with me so that we can have a...

I agree...this all started way before we got married and stems from things that happened in his childhood. I think marriage has a way of bringing things out into the light. After a lot of deep conversations, that were very insightful, this weekend he seems to be getting to the root of why he...

Thanks, Jane! :-) I'll check out the radio show...I think he'd be willing to do the same. Fortunately, we have no debt - YAY!

Hi Link! He was working with a recruiter who stated he would receive the $40K salary plus commissions and benefits. The HR dept. of the company gave him an IC contract. He did not read the contract before signing it, nor did he give it to me to review (which I asked him to do). Those are...

Hi Stan, I think you're right. I started updating my resume today and looking at positions. I'm thinking of giving him the opportunity to find a position that earns enough money by the end of the month and if he does not find one, then I'll start looking for a job. If I liquidate some of...

That's a good idea, but the only financial course I'm aware of is Crown Ministries and that costs money. I'll keep researching that option.

I'm going to say this politely: please do not post here anymore, you're not helping me or my husband.

Crap! I'll find out if he's laid out any $$ for this thing or not. It's merchant processing. I just went into one of his many email accounts and there is a third company he's dealing with. I think he's making decisions out of fear and desperation right now. Just when I think he's come...

I've noticed that too! They are usually one-sided. If my husband chooses to work as an IC right now, we'll be out on the street! The problem with this particular position is that it's a residual income structure, which in the short term is drips and drabs. It's not until a person is at it...

I think that's a good idea too. He's not completely honest about his paychecks when it's commission only and will over-extend us financially. I agree with you about commission only jobs, they are high risk, high yield and tend to be feast or famine situations. I'm not comfortable with that...

I’m not sure what to do about my husband’s behavior. Recently, he lied to me about receiving paychecks (he didn’t get any for almost 2 mos.) and he withheld our financial information. I have access to our finances now, but unfortunately he is still not open and forthcoming with me. That...

I think what is scary in this case is that this woman's baby was taken away for what appears to be assumptions and misunderstandings. Some "he said, she said" and asking questions and your newborn is taken away from you? Whether or not we agree, PA law states that parents have the right to...

I think we're more or less on the same page...sorry if I didn't communicate that better. :-)
