My question and situation is we're in Baby Step 2 and we have paid off $45,000 in two years from 71,000.

Wow.

So we're almost...

And my husband has a spending problem with part of addiction.

So I'm at this point of considering just separating our finances to get through this,

but I know I don't want to separate finances, and we've been doing so well.

Did something happen where he derailed?

No, it's basically just he has a limit of 500 a month, and he keeps spending over one month out of the year, he'll get right on there, but most of the time it's way over.

How was he spending over?

How is he doing it?

Yeah, so we've tried so many different ways from cash

to debit card to even a credit card from like before, but now we don't. But he's been spending

and it's just on his addiction, so he just wants more money. So he keeps asking me every week for

money. And I'm like, no, we got to stay on budget. And so it's just

kind of that up and downhill as we go. So even the 500 that you're giving him, he's spending on

the addiction, whether it's cash, whether it's a debit card. And what's the nature of his addiction?

So he likes to drink beer and he smoked and he, uh, smoke cigarettes as well.

Has he gone through any, you know, rehab or counseling for that?

Um, currently we are going to marriage counseling right now. Um, we are still talking about

trying to get him to quit smoking and right now it's just kind of like that steady

flow like he wants to but it's not quite getting there yet is he in a.A.?
