dependant with finances...?

First, you have a great husband.  He cares enough to clean up the mess.  Sue the ex-f***head for the balance of the paid-off loan, and tell the lending agency to enter it into his credit file.  Secondly, try opening a "mad-money" savings account for your spending moo...Make sure your husband is aware of it, too.  Put 20% of your LEFT OVER money (after bills) in it each paycheck and then save for what you want.  When you have 20% over your purchase price, go ahead and get your goodies and owe nobody!  Sounds like your husband has been listening to Dave Ramsey.  You two should take the "Financial Peace University" course.  When you've been debt-free for 10 years you will see just exactly how much you have in the bank and it will amaze you.  Have a great life with that great guy!

If your boyfriend has trust issues like this, how can this relationship last? That said, is he supporting you and your son? If you aren't working, then who pays the bills? If he is in fact the head of your household, and he is the breadwinner, then why not let him have the deduction. I think the issue here is whether or not your should continue in this relationship, not whether you should let him have a tax deduction.

What if your husband could put some more hours in to support you while you attended school? Also, you mentioned on another page you work with credit, so I'm sure you could find ways to obtain a loan during that time. Final option: downsize. Too many people voluntarily join the "rat race" with their monthly payments on a nice car, nice house, and other items that aren't necessary.

Try community banks. Any other type of financial institution would be willing to work with you esp. with the individual guarantees. Sounds like you should have no problem so long as the cash flow from rental income is sound.

well first off u need to figure out what are ur priority expenses. when u get paid u need to set aside the money u need to pay whatever bills need to be paid.. then whatever is left is your money.. take 60% of what u have left and that is for u and the other 40% u need to bank it and never touch it... and u do that every pay week.. if u stay steady to it u will have no problem in saving money. secondly, u need to knwo when to say no. if your a type of person who loves to spend money then u ned to tell yourslef No . spend only what u need and buy only what is needed.... if u need anything else i am here for you

The first thing you need to do is sit down and figure out what your expenses are. What are the bills you *have* to pay:\nrent\nelectric bill\nfood\ngas\ncar payment\n\nThese are all non-discretionary bills\n\nThen subtract your total monthly non-discretionary spending from your total monthly income, this number is what you can use on discretionary spending. Then agree on a personal spending allowance (play money) for each of you that you can spend each month. If he wants a new toy then he's going to have to save up his play money. The rest of the discretionary money should go toward common goals like paying down your debts and nice things for the both of you.\n\nThe link below is a great link to an excel spreadsheet that helps you calculate this. Just plug in the numbers and it does the rest!

I have been a stay-at-home mom for over a year, and we are doing better financially than when I was working. Granted, every family would like a "little extra," but she needs to not only look at their expenses now, but the expenses she would accrue going to work, i.e. DAYCARE, gas (especially with the current pricing), changes in auto insurance (going from personal use), food and clothing allowances for work, and a few others. If she wants to sit down and add all of their current expenses and compare to those extras, she might just consider cutting back. If she needs solutions on cutting back, have her e-mail me. I have done it!

I guess I might start by both of us setting down and take a look at what is going out in bill's 1st for the month.\n Then look at what is left over after bill's food gas for work --Then add up your pay coming into the home each week then add that up to see what you have now deducted the over all bill's from that ---That is what you have left to play with or save.Now this is where each of you need to see what each of you may spend with whats left over.And if there is not enough to shop that week or every 2 weeks just don't do it !\nIt takes a lot of disciplined as you know since you are the Strict Budget one.\nBut yes I would set down in a loving way and talk it out.\nYou sound like a sweet husband.trying to fix something before it gets out of hand.

Find a friend or family member who is good with money and ask them for their help and guidance.  It is always good to have personal help and not just read tips off of a website or book so that your situation, personality, likes and dislikes can be factored into your budget.  \n\nSuze Orman on CNBC Saturday nights is also a great resource!

It sounds like he has major issues unrelated to you... but you are paying the price. You need to talk to him about this compassionately, but firmly and tell him he needs to treat you with more love and respect. You might be financially dependent on him for now, but you deserve to be treated with respect. You'll be okay if this relationship ends. Do what is right for you and be proactive... don't just sit and wait for him to figure it out. You'll only stay stuck in a bad situation.

create a new budget that is smaller.  This may mean having only one car, or less extras like eating out and fast food.  There are many areas that you can cut the corners.  I have been staying at home for 9 years now and it is only the last 4 years that I have been working at home with my own business.  I do it for fun not because our budget demands it.  \n\nGood luck with it.  If you can't do it in the situation you are in.. either you have to change the budget or your husband needs to get a better paying job.  If both of those are maxed to as good as you both can do - then you may have to work.

You are not required to pay support for children that are not your own or your legal responsibility.  You may want to consult a CPA or do file separately (depending on how much he actually owes in child support arrears).  You also, on another note, will want to advise him to begin making payments because he could be liable for a garnishment of his wages up to 25%.  Could your household survive on 25% less in earnings from him?  Best of luck with a difficult situation.
