Let her pay the bills. Writing the checks will make anyone think twice about spending.

Don't give her any.

Is she brain-damaged that you can't TALK to her; or emotionally unattached to the problem (which really WOULD be MORE of a problem. . . .if not the problem itself!)

what's she doing out of the kitchen??? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I suspect when your wife spends she does not consider this particular spending to be "wasting money". So what might be needed is changing the way she thinks about the subject. Ask her what her spending priorities are and how any particular expenditure fits into that picture. Then work on possibly changing that "picture" so the vision she holds is different. To change a habit you really need to change the way of thinking.

Take away her credit cards.

Talk to her first to find out why she is spending the money. Perhaps she is paying the bills and you call this spending.
Next. Work out a plan with her so that both of you see where the money is going. Then make a budget. Allow her to have some money to buy whatever she wants, no matter what it is, but it has to be in the budget.
Third. Pay the bills together, so that both of you know where the money is going. Also check to see where you are spending extra money. Sometimes men only see their wife's part in the spending. Good luck!

give her pocket money so she cant overspend :)

Provided you can afford too. Set aside a certain amount in a 401 for the future. This will keep you both from wasting it and will help secure the future and have her use the rest of the money to pay bills first and then whatever is left is hers to spend after splitting some with you.

Tell her that the two of you are bankrupt and drastic steps will have to be taken of you might loose the house...that should work.

get her a job; if she has time to spend your money than she should be working to support her spending habbit; start seperating her from your money.

mine did not stop financially abusing me until the day she ran away with another man... good riddence.

You cant. but you can open up a seperate bank account with only your name on it, preferably a swiss bank account, where she cant get to your money. Let her waste her own money.
by Piratebooty on August 21st, 2009
Sit her down and tell her that her issues have got to stop. Tell her it is not a healthy habit to have and certainly not good with how bad the economy is. Unless you make some major green, it is harmful to you and your family if you have kids.
I could also ask..what is wasteful spending to you? Is she getting her hair done or things to make herself look nice or is she just blowing money of stupid crap that she doesn't need?
