I may be out of bounds here, but the marital counselor is an idiot. The number one reason people divorce is over money. So, for him to hard-line it and say you take over the finances is dumb. I hope he/she is just hard-lining it so that you both see what the other is feeling, but there are better ways to get a point across. Anyway, it sounds as if you have quickly learned that both of you need to take accountability. I wish you luck. As for your situation, the cars have got to go. You make 77K and have 50k in car loans. What kind of car do you drive with a 36K loan? Take the loss of the money and probably the harder hit, your pride, and sell the things.
