Personal Budget Training: Nickel and Diming

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Renee's husband is irresponsible with money. He lost his job and is making less money at his new one. How can she talk to him about this?

Blackneto said...: both the wife and I think Dave might be a bit out of the loop on this.

1. If she's driving for business a $2K car may not cut it. reliability and maintenance come into play here.
any car approching 70k miles will need a bunch of maintenance to stay road worthy. while this doesn't come close to a car payment. several 1k chunks to take care of these maintenance needs may strain a budget.
2. Yes the husband needs to get on board, but thats where blow money comes in. Has Dave forgoten about this?

So maybe there's an issue where she hasn't presented the method in the best light.

I don't know. but things like this is why i buy friends and relatives used copies of FP and FP revisited instead of TMMO.; Wednesday, April 16, 2008
