She is the problem, she won't give anything up.

she is the problem, but the husband is also a part of the problem because he tolerated it. if you are married, don't dump all the responsibility on your spouse. sit down together. she did forge his name, so i say send her behind to jail, at least she won't be able to spend any more.

She said that they are on the verge of getting a divorce. I would not stay married to her for one more minute. I could never marry again unless I could handle the money in the family.

I would have her locked up and divorced her, before she could finish getting her hair done. She's a prime example of why most men don't trust women in the finance department, she's a disgrace! Her husband is stupid too though, he keeps her around, even knowing of their situation. I guess they were made for each other.

Wow isn't that something eh? She is definetely a big part of the problem. I wonder if he's the guy that just sits back and has a blind eye to everything that is happening. I think he should have been more involved in the finances and maybe things wouldn't have gotten so bad.

Seems like she controls him. She found her a weak man to control, and its showing now.

Re: Did any See the Couple in Debt on Oprah

Well I am anti divorce (meaning don't bail just cause one person is having trouble), but that couple really does need to look at their definition of 'perfect'!

Anyway it is workable if she is willing, I think a trip to africa might help, show her a home with no running water, might help her shush up about weekly hair!

Re: Did any See the Couple in Debt on Oprah

She doesn't have to go to Africa to see that, right here in these United States are people in poverty, living in houses with dirt floors. Heck what happened in New Orleans should be a reality check for her, but since it isn't...

Now I'm not a proponent of Divorce either, but he's suffered enough at her hand, but until HE realizes that, and grows a backbone to stand up to her, he won't divorce her and it won't get better.

Re: Did any See the Couple in Debt on Oprah

Its not just the husband and wife who are crazy; this is a problem with a taproot. I clicked through their whole story and it turns out their families and friends are giving them a hard time for going through this. Sounds like the woman has serious control/fear issues. No hair had better be out of place, and "you'd better look rich, or else."

The more I look at it and think about it - pathological spending addictions = drug addiction. If you want to kick either, you've got to give up your past.

Re: Did any See the Couple in Debt on Oprah

Cut her hair appoints down to half!!?? For goodness sakes that would be $3500!! If they are serious about getting out of debt why don't she find a beauty school that will cut her hair for practically nothing! I pay $7.00 when I get my hair cut at a beauty school. This women needs to get a reality to check! They need me in there to tell her what to do. My goodness this woman really has a problem about impressing other people. Unfortunately, in trying to impress others she is hurting her marriage which definetly is not worth it. My ex sister-in-law is the same way! She is the sweetest person you could ever meet, but always has to buy brand names. Forget that! I want to retire one day and have a life instead of paying off credit card bills for the rest of my life.

The "keep up with the Jones'" mentality is the detriminent of a lot of people. The faster people can come to terms with the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Jones don't care what you have, the better off everybody will be.

Re: Did any See the Couple in Debt on Oprah

I don't understand where they got that $7000 figure for her hair. At $30 per week, that totals only $1560/year. Even if she has a relaxer perm and assuming she pays $75 every 6 weeks to get her relaxer retouched in addition to the $30 weekly visits, that's still only $2210 per year. If she's paying $125 for her relaxer retouches, that's still only $2643.75 per year. Where is she getting her hair done that's costing her $7000/year??? Something's not adding up.

I just thought about something...maybe she has a high-end weave job. You have to go get those weaves tightened every 6 to 8 weeks...I imagine that can get expensive, especially if she's using 100% human hair and her beautician is charging high prices to maintain it.

Re: Did any See the Couple in Debt on Oprah

I agree with you Tomkat, something else must be getting done to her hair to cost that much. You know the older you get, the more you realize that most people don't care what you look like, they have their own lives to live.
I go to parties where the woman have spent a fortune on themselves, their clothes, their hair, make up.
I look like a bag lady compared to them. Sometimes I feel a little uncomfortable around them, but I am who I am. I have never lived the rich pampered lifestyle.
