      You talk as if the husband literally has physical control over his wife to prevent her from sign up for any form of debt including a home equity line of credit.

      It should stress you, what's keeping you from paying it off?
      I mean no shame in this, there were times in my life where that was all I had to live for an entire month, and there were times where I had that kind of debt and dragged it for months.
      Currently I'm stressed because I'm waiting on a bill I want to pay, while too many people pray for bills to come late because "it won't be a problem if it can wait a month".
      I don't entirely agree with everything in the babysteps (if I would have rented until I could afford to buy a house on a 15 year mortgage, I still wouldn't have owned a house f.e.), but I wholeheartedly agree on the first ones: have enough in the bank to cover the small stuff, then pay off all debt as fast as possible, then save up at least half a year worth of expenses in an emergency fund. If it takes working two jobs and eating beans and rice, do it, you'll hopefully make sure you never need to go through that again.
      Been there, done that, now I own a house that I'm on track to pay off in a total of 18 years (originally 25yr, now 13.5yr in) and drive a car I bought brand new 8 years ago that never gets the chance to have bald tyres or old oil (but it's a Fiat and I won't replace it before it doesn't make sence to fix it anymore).

      @@aolvaar8792 58k or 50k in credit card debt means 10,000 in interest per year. The man with double her income 120,000 (maybe gross, but nevertheless) could not figure that out. SHE has a home, he doesn't. And she RUSHES to save him even before they are married by taking out a loan in her name on HER home.
      While his plan is to pay her 1000 per month back. (as she had the house before the marriage it is not marital property).
      She goes all in, based on first romantic love, "he is great". That is going to fade.
      She thinks she will participate in his 120,000 (or whatever his income potential is). Looks more like he is going to drain her 60,000 income.
      After a while she will be stuck with a man who is possibly
      selfish
      clueless regarding money
      likely intends to spend like crazy in the future
      had good income, nothing saved up
      even in the courting phase he is RESCUED by her.
      If he would make an effort it would be different, but he obviously doesn't make an effort.
      He has 10,000 per month (at least gross, maybe it is net) and and plans to give her 1000 per month to pay down the cc debt - which she refinanced. I wonder for how many months she will get the 1,000 USD. She is also the type to ignore all warning signs and to get pregnant right away.
      Her effort will save him 10,000 interest per year (at 20 % for 50,000 open - of course the HELOC also costs interest but not nearly as much).
      Her stocks could appreciate a lot - they are also not shared marital property. Except when she uses them to clear HIS debt.
      I have a bad feeling this is not going to end well, and after the divorce she will miss those assets. She will end up having paid 60k for him (plus missing out on the appreciation of the shares).
      She obviously is able to finance a home (or sh got money from parents) so they can live in a home with no more costs than they already have.

    It goes to show, its not about how much money you make, but how you manage it. She is definitely more financially secure making $60,000 than he is and he's making $120,000. That 120k looks good on paper, but IRL he's broke. Its sad she feels she can't have a conversation about their finances with him. The fact they've been together several years and he is just now telling her about his CC debt, he was possibly using those CC to purchase high priced items for her so she'll be impressed. I hope he agrees to do FPU. For their sake.

      The reason you hear a lot of negativity around it is that if the woman had student loan debt and the man paid it off the woman would love it. When it is the opposite the woman all think it is unfair. This is what getting married is a coupling of finances. We honestly got no idea if either of them are responsible. She could be asking him to spend a lot that created the debt. We got no idea they didn’t ask enough because it isn’t important. You were 2 people now your are 1 couple.

My daughter has NO medical school loans since her father left her a huge life insurance policy when he passed away when she was a senior in high school.

    Am I the only one with the mentality "the more you spend the more you have to work and I HATE my job so I'm going to be cheap as humanly possible" guess so...smh

    there is not enough money to fix stupid. Until he can become unstupid, do not get into legal unity no matter how much you love him

    Thats gotta be a tough pill: put on a gold wedding band, put $60,000 toward something you had no enjoyment of.

    One of the definitions of stupid:
    given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner.
    We gotta start owning up to that definition.

    she fines it uncomfortable to bring up his weak links? but then you're both fine to marry each other? lmao I think hold off on the marriage. Because if you're not comfortable to talk about deep, uncomfortable things then marriage is not the answer!
