Tommy: 我是一位75岁的老人,最近发现我妻子在过去五年里主要在赌场欠下了53,000美元的信用卡债务,而我对此一无所知。我原本以为我已经摆脱了债务。现在我打算以6.625%的利率从信用社贷款80,000美元,分30年摊销,但这是一个气球贷款。我这样做是因为我可以根据我每年额外的30,000到50,000美元的收入来支付不同的金额。我妻子因为知道我会很生气而离开了我,现在她和她的母亲住在一起,她说她每周都在接受咨询,但我不知道这是否针对赌博问题。我认为她可能还没有承认自己有赌博问题。我希望能够重建信任,并为我们的关系设定明确的界限,以防止再次发生这种情况。 Dave Ramsey: 首先要确定你和妻子的关系走向,重建信任至关重要,因为存在大量的欺骗行为。如果你们重归于好,需要制定一个恢复计划,包括她承认自己是赌博成瘾者并接受治疗。为了重建信任,她可能在未来三到五年内不应再管理家庭财务,所有财务应由你掌控。如果你们离婚,情况则另当别论。如果你们复合,需要查明她的IRA账户中有多少钱,并将其用于偿还债务。剩余的信用卡债务需要通过现金流来偿还。至于房屋的维修,应该用现金支付,而不是借钱。最重要的是,不要为了摆脱债务而借钱,而是要用自己的钱来偿还债务。成瘾者在康复期间常常会撒谎和操纵,因此不能让他们管理家庭财务。 Jade Warshaw: 为了防止婚姻中的不端行为,夫妻双方应该共享银行账户密码,开启消费通知,确保财务透明。这样可以避免隐藏资金的可能性。在我们的家庭中,要隐藏任何事情都非常困难,因为一切都是公开的。这并不是间谍行为,而是确保没有需要隐藏的事情。如果一个人没有做任何可耻的事情,就没有理由隐瞒。共享密码和账户信息可以预防婚姻中的不端行为,并促进夫妻之间的合作和财富积累。
