re: Any baw still marry a girl even though knowing she'll be a financial disaster?

Nope. Have one friend who has dropped dead beautiful and would probably go out but I also know that her ex-boyfriend had to cover her when her car got repoed and she was always asking him for money. No thanks

No way. Have to be same team, same dream. Need to be on the same page

Honestly this is the least intelligent thing you could possibly do.

You could be fricking Mr. 1600 on the sat, Goodwill Hunting, and as soon as you did this I’d call you a fricking retard. A one trick coward pony.

Man up.

Tell the bitch to take the walk, if she doesn’t walk, walk her.

Do not put pussy on the pedestal.

Chase a check never chase a bitch.

Divorce is unbelievably expensive when you're the breadwinner

My wife has the financial literacy of an 8 year old, but she’s the opposite of lazy and isn’t a big spender.

She just doesn’t understand anything about money, credit, interest rates/interest, financing, mortgages, retirement accounts, saving, etc.

I do 100% of that, which is fine. She’s great at everything else.

My ex wife was like this. I was blinded by her behind and oral skills to know better. She worked but was horrible with money. I made the mistake of telling her we had $5K in savings so instead of taking a small, reasonable vacation, she wanted to go all out and the package she chose ended up being just under what I had.

Nah, my wife is frugal and a relatively high earner and still fine as frog hair.

She refused to share her finances bc she didn’t want me judging what she spent her money on.

Out of genuine curiosity, wouldn’t you know regardless? Unless it wasn’t material items?

Bad credit score, lots of bad debt, doesn't work, excessive spender, lazy and doesn't cook, likes to eat out expensive all the time, etc.

You just described the modern woman.

I noticed the Uber Eats all the time but there weren’t a ton of material purchases.

This was a second marriage for both of us. I think she was dumping all of her money into her kids. She never saved for college and I’m guessing she was paying 100% of that. Probably car notes, insurance, cell phones, etc. She wasn’t really contributing much if anything to the family.

I probably wouldn’t have minded if she was upfront about it. But her secretiveness made me suspicious. Who knows. Maybe she was spending it on some other weird shite that I probably don’t want to know about at this point.
