No offense, and maybe I sound like an ass, but that would seriously make me consider a divorce. I cannot believe that anyone could be so irresponsible and stupid with their money.

word, ditch her. thats just 100% dumbassness.

Honestly what it comes down to is this:

1.) Bail another woman/spouse out of debit
2.) Help my daughter through college

By deciding to choose option #2, option # 1 is off the table, and if that means staying single, then so be it. My obligation is first & formost to my daughter, not to some woman who can't make the payments on her Lexus.

:thumbsup: im glad ur one of the responsible people in this world that brought life to someone.

i hope you will work through this

[OutHouse]

OUch!

I'm sorry to here. I'm glad she gave up the check book though.

Here in our state, checks basically dont get accepted anywhere anymore, lol!

Or at least not at gas stations and restaurants. And at some major retail stores too.

 

[salt9876]

Wow i would take her name off the checking account period if she 's that clueless. Wow, just wow

 

[Krazy4Real]

I'm glad you decided to check things out when you did. Who knows what would have happened if this kept going on.

All this talk about divorce is BS. Look, she obviously made a mistake and perhaps it wasn't intentional. For all you guys know she could be perfect in all other ways except finances. OP perhaps she needs some education on how to manage the checkbook and how to check the balance online which shows exactly how much you have in the back (minus outstanding checks). Talk to the bank and explain what happened and that she didn't know how to check the balance; perhaps they will cut you some slack. You and your wife can get through this. Good Luck and hang in there.

This is exactly what I was thinking reading this thread. Anyone going into a marriage expecting they won't run into issues of this magnitude is living in a dream world. She screwed up, they talked about it, the marriage hopefully grows as a result.

DAMN.. I got 5 overdraft charges one time and was sad for a week.. but this..

Get her to start working as well. At least part-time (16 hrs/wk at Starbucks or something). She can spend whatever she earns, but no checkbook.

The 29 dollars everytime is the fee the bank charges for each overdraft/nonsufficient funds on a check - regardless of how much the check was for

ahhh, ya i dont know anything about checks or banking really but i do know how to save money spend wisely..

 

[SmoochyTX]

Come on OP. How about an update?

 

[chuckywang]

With my bank, it is idiotic not to choose Overdraft Protection. With Overdraft Protection, they cover whatever your overdraft and charge you 29 dollars. The other choice is to not choose overdraft protection, so if you overdraft without protection, you get charged the same 29 dollars as a non-sufficient funds fee and you don't get covered whatever you try to overdraft.

In both cases, you get charged 29 dollars, but with overdraft protection, at least you get covered whatever you overdraft.
