Ah, the joys of being single.

It's not the 2000, it's the lying and lack of consideration about her feelings.

To be honest, some people are saying "only 2000?". But I actually think she's definitely got the right approach: it's not the big sums that put people into debt, it's lots of little sprees here and there. The fact that she's jumping on this straight away is a wise approach

1:27 'Not really good at lying' - I think he just is not trying to hide it because he doesn't care. 😂

This is why I can't date someone with huge debt. This husband racking up debt behind her back is basically stealing.

I told my first wife that we needed counseling (I suspected infidelity and was eventually proven right). Her four-word response finally pushed me over the edge - "Have fun with that." I went to the counselor by myself and ended up getting confirmation that divorce was the right answer. Fast forward six years and I'm debt free, happily remarried with a beautiful, Christian family and a bright future ahead.

How did we get to $2000 Being the downfall of the marriage🤔......it's Way more then a $2000 credit card and golf clubs.

My husband just spent $5000 behind my back on some dumb course he saw on a Facebook ad. One time before he spent $2000 and hid it from me for a long time. Unfortunately, people like this don't usually change...they just get better at lying and hiding.

This is why you shouldn't rush to get married before you really get to know them

When I lament my terrible luck finding dates, these are exactly the videos I need to cheer me up. Being single has its perks!

This is so sad. A perfect example of two people who weren't actually ready to be married. You can't wait until after marriage to get on the same page about finances, kids, careers etc. These are relationship destroyers. I pray that they'll be able to get counseling together and work through this.

My husband slept threw the Dave Ramsey class. 7 years later I'm still battling with him being on the same page. Pisses me off!

That is so sad… she is so devastated

Tried marriage counselling with my first wife, Dave would have liked that counsellor. Apparently a new car (wife wanted) was warranted to fix the marriage even though we were in debt up to our eyeballs. Happy I never went back to that counsellor, also happy that I moved on from that woman. Oh, didn't buy the car either.

Well, whatever they have, she's about to get half. 😂

15 years ago, my wife joined an MLM, got a credit card without telling me, and ran up $9K worth of credit card charges purchasing MLM inventory on it before I eventually found out. Thankfully Dave and his teachings saved our marriage. There are no longer any financial secrets or money fights. We are now in Babysteps 4, 5 & 6 and on the path to becoming Everyday Millionaires by 2032. TY, DR, FPU & TMMO! Bottom line is there is still hope for this caller and her husband.

This dude needs to get away from this chick asap

Her husband doesn’t “stick to the budget” and they call him a man child and say it’s up to him to save the marriage 😂 these guys are living in fairytale land

If he is a spender, he is a spender. He will not change over time, even if he wants to, he will struggle at least until he gets used to a life budgeting/saving. 6 months is too quick to expect someone to change like that.

I think this guy thinks he married the wrong person for him and regrets it and is acting out because of it.

This was my marriage EXACTLY! He brought 80k of debt into our marriage. Marriage counseling over the last 2 years and lots of conversation, lots of errors along the way, financial boundaries, etc has allowed us to finally be on the same page and we will be debt free as of October 2024. It is possible....it's just not easy.

Things will keep getting worse. Be honest: think about cutting bait now, before kids make it almost impossible.

My wife blew her entire $15k work bonus on herself. We have a kid and I have credit card debt (cards she ran up). $2k is nothing. Granted, I’m married to a narcissist.

People call just to waste time,2 thousand dollars spend,what's the big deal?..i hate drama like this..!

First time ive disagreed with these guys. Its been 6 months, he doesnt understand marriage yet. Chill out and take a step back.

I'll bet her wedding dress was $2,000.

You are not required to pay other people's bills.Leave him.

No background again.Only married 6months. I didn't know anything when I got married....calling the guy all kinds of names when he probably just doesn't have any idea of what it takes to be married.

This is a relationship and marital problem. Not just about money.

If my wife told me every time she spent money on stupid stuff, my stress would be through the roof.

I know someone like this. Her husband makes $110k a year, but wastes every penny. He has over $150k in back taxes alone. She doesn't have anything

Only 2 grand on clubs and guns??? He and her got off cheap.

If $2k destroys their finances and marriage in 6 months, they shouldn't have gotten married.

dangit. everytime they start crying.. it breaks my heart.. stress is real in her voice.

Is this the same guy getting sued about a timeshare scheme?

3:27 Not necessarily a child trapped in an adult's body: he just shouldn't have gotten married.

He’s clearly selfish, it’s not really about the 2k, it’s that he wanted something and he bought it, with no regard to the effect it would have on his wife. Hold off on have kids, don’t reproduce until your goals and values are align. Debt probably doesn’t bother him that much, definitely not as much as it bothers you.

Why TF would you get married without having these discussions about finances and goals????

This type of call reminds me how lucky I am not married anymore, I can go buy what I want when I want. This is $2K, not $20K.

In the Army they use to tell us: Have a pity party for 24 hours, then drop the spouse. Go find another one.

I hate 1 sided stories

They're pushing her into divorce. Wasn't necessary to publicly criticize her husband.

The problem is people fail to realise that credit cards are the banks money it has to be repayed

Love being single and financially dependent (UK)No debt

Run!

This woman sounds Phony. Sounds like shes looking for an excuse to get out of her marriage

I know people are going to hate me for this. But marriage isn't a peice of PAPER, It is a commitment of the HEART'S. That is why the dovice rate is so high.

John and Dave's words aren't exactly helping their marriage either. They make it sound like he just IS a certain way vs. being misled. The comments seem right. When it's a man, blast him with stuff like this. When it's a woman, she's the victim.

Good reason to not get married.

He pronounced Louisville correctly! I’m from Kentucky and it grates when people call it “Lewisville”.

When a man lies through omission it's 😭 when a woman does it and gets called on it it's 😭. He's a little boy while she's crying like a baby. Double standards.

When she spends behind his back, it’s because “she’s not safe.” When he spends behind her back, it’s because “he’s a child.”

And that's exactly why you just don't marry anyone or rush into it if you are dying to get married...😂😂😂😂😂

6 months?! That should be the time of your life starting out. This is gonna end bad.

At around 6:40 Dave finally stopped simping and gave an actual analysis of the facts.

Why is it that good women like these and responsible men seem to never meet each other: it's always fortune seeking women finding kind/responsible men, and pathetic men finding amazing/compassionate women... FUCKIN'ELL!

let's be honest.. one of the two is cheating and wants out.

They about to divorce over $2000 in just 6 months of marriage. Welcome to America.

Chick, stay in your place.

its only been 6months that crazy

Now 2000 is not allot of money he can pay that off in two mouths' but he should have told her and pay it off himself

Not financial infidelity, but financial irresponsibility, because he did not hide it. They are only six month's married, but really only she is married at this point, not him, he's living his best single life without any consideration or respect for her. I gather she is being responsible and living within their means and saving for the future, he is not. Unless she can get him on the same page, she will call back in a couple of years "Dave, we are $60k in debt and cannot make the minimum payments". Either he grows up, or gets out. And he has to turn it around within 1-3 months or she should cut him loose and get on with her life, because he will only drag her down.

If your married and your not on the same game page heading the same direction your screwed . One person can be the anchor for the other.

So why wasn't the credit card cut up after it was paid off?

Spending $2000 is fine. Spending $2000 on crap you don't need while you're trying to get out of debt is not ok.

Why does everyone need a therapist?? Unless the therapist is literally slapping you with some black leather gloves for being so dumb, I highly doubt it helps. Grown men do not need therapy or marriage counseling.

I am so sick of John constantly acting like he knows what is going on with people after 30 seconds. He sucks.

It's only $2K. Sheesh.

This was touching. Glad she got to hear that from y’all. More than finances.

I would like to know how much husband make and how many hour he works. Crying over a $2000 is silly and wife is possibly a control freak. I think husband is fed up with her by how she explaining about it.

Hopefully dude comes to his senses and realizes the marriage was a mistake and she just isn't worth all this drama. He needs a wife that isn't wrapped up in controlling him and she needs a miserly old man to help her shop for expired soup at the scratch and dent store.

Don’t get married.

Sounds like he's angry bcuz he got married to someone for money instead of love

She need to leave

Tough one. Completely different values where money is concerned. My wife and I are at conceptual odds on a thing or two, and those differences have caused conflicts over the years, but man, I'm glad we have always been on the same page where money is concerned.

Hunting equipment and golf clubs aren't stupid. 😂

Did Baloney ask her if she was safe?

“Dave you!” “Dave you too!” “Go Dave yourself!” “You piece of Dave!”

lol why he proposed if he wasn’t serious he shouldn’t just stayed dating

This is why if your a man just don't get married. Chances are your bringing more to the table than she is and your just signing it all over.

Male bashing simp mode activated once again...No what's your household income? No what's your monthly budget? No context whatsoever in the call at all

$2,000??? Call back in when he shows up in the drive way with his new Ford Raptor

There are two sides to every story, her tone changed towards the end which leads me to suspect a little manipulation on her part.

Dave about to break up another marriage.

Don't fall for the con.....timeshare con.

Talk about 2 people who shouldn’t be giving marriage advice to 2 people who shouldn’t be married.

ughhh 6 months into a marriage and your asking as financial adviser on a radio show how to deal with each other? not going to last OR it will last but one or both people will remain unhappy...

Dont get married before your ready and all this is avoided.

6 months and he still has not made it thru the Book? He is NOT interested. He is spending like he is still single. They are right, he is not adjusting well going from "Me" to "We". Unless he is willing to change, NOTHING she can do will make things better.

She’s insane. He’s insane. Divorce coming fast.

Dr John strike again.

Almost as bad as using your sewing shears on paper.

If we spend over $100, we let the other know. It’s our rule of thumb.

She should return them. Ha

Damn why did she marry the guy

She married a child. Who throws temper tantrums. It’s best to GET OUT NOW. He has no respect for you or the marriage.

Leave him quickly do not have kids with him please. Not because the spending but the anger if his heart isn't out of love but screaming and anger leave. It's hard hun but you deserve better

You’re growing away from him. He will bring you down and ruin your life.

Bad choice in a partner.

I just realised how awesome my wife is haha!!
