Heartbreak in Williamsport
As far back as I can remember, always hunters, always. Our father hunted, our uncles, everybody.

I just looked at my brother and I thought, oh my God. How could they do this to you?

And I said to him, this is a keeper. That's what I told him. She's a keeper. What was it about her that made you feel that way? Oh, she's just warm, loving, just everything you'd want a sister-in-law to be.

The last time I talked to her, that was Friday night apparently, the night someone killed her.

She says, you know, maybe this is good because she's away and perhaps he's going to see this is not what he wants. He wants to be back with his family.

She was a little upset because he was late, saying, you know, he doesn't think I have a life.

I do. I use the credit card that's both of ours for gas and groceries, but if I need to get a haircut or something, I use my debit card and I have money in there that I usually... I get money from my mom sometimes.

Well, it's gotten worse since we had our child. I have a six-year-old, and I'm not able to put him in, like, swim lessons and stuff. And he does really well financially. We have about a $5 million net worth. He makes about $400K a month, or not a month, $400K a year. But I don't know if I can convince him.

And he says that I'm selfish to keep the money in a savings account and that I'll lose money to inflation.

He probably thinks I am, but I'm not. I shop at Ollie's Bargain Basement. You know, I don't spend a lot of money.

Kind of. I've asked for an allowance before and he's done it for a couple of months. But then, you know, it's just not very much. It's like four to five hundred dollars a month.

Um, yeah, I mean, I could look, he's very, um, frugal. He, he just golfs a lot and, um, and does like small sports gambling, like a couple of dollars here and there. Are you sure it's just a couple of dollars? I don't know.
The Ramsey Show
Focused People Build Wealth—Distracted People Stay Broke
Yeah, a bit manipulative and kind of condescending.
The Ramsey Show

He says that I don't understand money, and he just kind of like yells and clenches his fists and just says that I don't understand, and if I just put the money in a savings account, I'll just be like everyone else. And he said, then I'll spend all the money, and then he said I'll come back to him and need more money.

He thinks that I'm just going to blow through this $50,000 and then come back to him asking for money.

You're not crazy. Thank you. I can't see the forest through the trees. It's been so long, but I appreciate that. Do you have community around you, Sally?

Hi, thanks so much for taking my call. I'll try to be quick with my question. My husband does well financially, but he tends to be a bit controlling with money. He's always taken the inheritance I've received each year and invested it in the stock market. Recently, I received about 50K, which will probably be the last bit of inheritance for a while.

Yeah. Out of state, I do. So I'll be spending time with them this summer. So that will be nice, just with my son and I. So we'll have some time away for a little bit.
The Ramsey Show

Yeah, except he's my husband.

Since I'm a stay-at-home mom with no allowance, I'd like to keep this money in a separate savings account in my name only. But he's adamantly against this and wants me to give him the money to invest. He said he'll give me the monthly dividends as an allowance. But I was hoping for more freedom than that.
The Ramsey Show

Is this how it's been your whole marriage? Yeah. Yeah, and sometimes I get an allowance and sometimes I don't.
