How would you describe your current financial situation?
“My husband has severe anger issues and often has explosive outbursts.”
I’m struggling and need some advice. My husband has severe anger issues and often has explosive outbursts. It’s reached the point where he’s thrown things and even punched and shattered our tv. Every time this happens, he apologizes sincerely but also tells me that I make him so mad and push him too far, which is why he reacts this way.

“Can I afford a Tesla?”
Hey guys the new model 3 is now at 1.99 APR for a 3 year loan and I really want one for the tech (not cause it’s an EV or any political/environmental reason) I am 27M.
My current financials situation is I make 90k a year, net worth is 160k, no student loans, no mortgage, no credit card debt, no car deb [paid off] worth around 18k. I know car is a horrible financial decision but I don’t spend on anything. I know I could not buy one and keep saving/investing too but idk
Yes, technically you can afford to get the Tesla, but let’s take a step back and look at this from a different perspective. You mentioned that you know a car is a horrible financial decision, and you’re absolutely right. Here’s why:
“I just found out wife secretly racked up $30k credit card debt.”
My wife and I have been married for about 10 years and have two small kids. We both work, but we have separate bank accounts (partly because she is bad at managing money), though we do split bills, etc. My job pays a bit more. Recently, some bad financial stuff has come to light.
About 6 months ago, my wife revealed to me that she had racked up about $10,000 in credit card debt, and the interest was getting away from her. At the time she told me, it all suddenly made sense why she had been asking me for money at the end of the month for several months running—it was because she was struggling to pay off the debt. After a tough conversation, we got a low(er)-interest bank loan to pay off the credit cards, and we worked out a monthly payment plan to get it paid off within 3 years.
