I don't have money problems, I'm just 'cash poor' now if you know what I mean.
My parents live in the old house, and she purchased that lexus without consulting me.

Why the fvck is she driving a Lexus SUV? Your wife sounds like a total JAP

She actually a WASP.

Who else is going to pay it? You? The dog?

exactly, maybe i should sell her dog. the dog is staying in the computer room, because she thought it is too cold for him to stay in garage.

Sell the dog. Even if its a mutt and you only get 5 bucks for it, it'll send a good strong message.

Wife means they're married. When you're married generally all your finances are combined.

combined finances probably isn't as common as you think and its better not to

my parents have seperate accounts and pay for different things

my dad would NOT pay for the clothes my mom buys for herself or for my sister and I

1) Your parents are not paying for the other house....why, now?

2) If you wife is purchasing a LEXUS without even CONSULTING you....you guys have some serious communication issues.

I disagree. Married relationships shouldn't be master to slave or master holds all the money and gives the slave her allowance as he sees fit.
 
Sell her lexus. When she gets mad, say you didn't consult me about purchasing it...so I didn't think I needed to consult you about selling it!

Really, you have some serious communication problems. You can't run your finances like this, its just insanity.

Yes, but if one spouse has a spending problem, something has to be done. She is in a sense, making him a slave to her spending habits. Time to turn the tables.

im not defending the wifey's actions...but she is paying for the lexus all by herself. granted she shouldve consulted OP b4 purchasing such an $$ car, but i dont think OP has any grounds to sell the car with that arguement

Good for you. I just feel that saying that someone that spends a lot of money is a Jew is a very racist thing to do.

Oh, stop whining. Besides, how can calling someone Jewish be racist? It's not even a race.
