Anyone else have a wife with a spending problem?

Read this article and I really feel for the dude. Women like this can financially ruin you. Obviously he can afford it but I know may regular guys with relativly high incomes who can't save a dime because their wives run up that Amex.
In 1999, Columba Bush, the famously private wife of then-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was detained and fined by federal customs officials for misrepresenting the amount of clothing and jewelry she had bought while on a solo five-day shopping spree in Paris.
The incident left the Florida first lady deeply mortified and her husband politically chagrined. Jeb Bush said the first lady had misled customs officials because she did not want him to know that she had spent about $19,000 on the trip.
The ordeal did not stop her from spending freely, however. Less than a year later, she took out a loan to buy $42,311.70 worth of jewelry on a single day, according to records filed with the state of Florida by Mayors Jewelers.
That purchase was part of a pattern by Columba Bush of borrowing to buy tens of thousands of dollars of jewelry at a time from the South Florida store over a 14-year period. Documentation available online, which does not include the details of two transactions made less than six weeks apart in 1995, shows that she spent a total of more than $90,000 at the store.
Uniform Commercial Code forms filed by the store with the Florida secretary of state’s office on May 3, 2000, indicate that Mayors arranged a loan under which Columba Bush bought four items. They were: a $25,600 pair of diamond stud earrings set in platinum; an 18-karat white-gold and diamond bracelet by the Italian designer Bulgari, priced at $10,500; an 18-karat white-gold and diamond necklace, costing $3,200; and another pair of diamond earrings, for $3,300. The records indicate that she received discounts and price adjustments totalling $2,780 and paid $2,491.70 in sales tax.
While the 2000 purchase listed the governor’s mansion as her home address, documents suggest that, on at least one earlier occasion, Columba Bush wanted the paperwork sent to a postal box.
In 1997, when she bought a Roman coin necklace for $15,000 and a $16,600 Rolex watch studded with diamonds, she listed as her mailing address one that is currently used by a UPS Store in Miami. At the time, the shipping facility operated under the name Mail Boxes Etc.

I'm going to say that she would not make the O-T rating needle move off the "Zero" peg.
Gross.

Never married but I know a lot of guys with compulsive-shopper wives. Know one dude whose wife stole all the furniture when they filed for divorce thennnnnn stole all his new furniture after the divorce was final.

A real catch she is.
If she fell off an oil rig she might be eaten by a shark.

Wow he could've gotten an attractive woman for what she's spending

I don't feel an ounce of pitty for any of these husbands.
This type of behavior (materialistic, unreleastic expectations) always presents itself in some fashion or another when couples are dating. They knew what they were getting into and they choose to continue the relationships with these women.

I used to have a materialistic, reckless spending, stay at home wife. She is now someone else's problem.

^^^^ this.
Any man who bitches like a woman about this knew what he was buying at the wedding. There's no surprise in it.
