This frustrates me just typing it out, but you guys have to have something to work off of.
As stated in the title, I recently acquired a second job. We are behind in every-single-bill-possible. Even basic utilities are behind. She understands it was her fault because she wanted to manage the finance and though we used our credit card for gas only, she maxed it out with gas only. I brought up many times, we have to pay more than a week worth of gas a month to keep the balance down. So much for managing. :scratchhead:
Before this I worked two jobs. But last time I worked 110 or so hours a week between the two jobs. I made upwards of 71K a year between the two jobs.
Now I make nearly half that and we are in the situation we are now. She now works part time, but 200~230 every two weeks isn't going to cut it. I got a second part time job again, but this time the second income is going into my own account. I like going to school all the time, but right now we could be spending the money on something else. Like a rainy day fund, buying a house? Important things in life?
Since this, she has been angry. I have asked "what's wrong?" "Why are you so angry?" Nothing is wrong and stop saying I am angry. She almost says it in a threatening demeanor. I am almost tempted to keep at it to see if she'll stab me with a knife or something. Maybe slap me or punch me in the face.
In my own head, I bring big enough income for my family on one check, why does she need my second check? I will be spending my second paycheck for a couple months to get caught up. I separated it because of what happened in the past. Because its a pain to change direct deposit at this company. Because after we get caught up, this income is mine to work on this stupid debt, not the family.
I mean seriously. We rent and we don't even have a down payment saved up, she hopes for some landlord to accept the down payment after we get it back from our last place. :rolleyes:
