Take the checkbook...the money...make sure the bills are paid....Give him a portion for him and when he runs out...that is his bad. Get a separate account for the bills and pray that God delivers him.

Talk with him about his spending habits and how much it is a burdance on your household budget. There is nothing wrong with getting some things that you like but it's another extreme when its greed and spending more than you bring in. sounds like he's spending his money and your. maybe not in the light of him taking it right out your hand, but explain to him that you would enjoy gettings things you enjot too , but you are unable to because of the way he spends. Tell him that you try to put money in savings in cause you two have a rainy day when you may need some reserve funds and by you doing this is prevents you from enjoying your income too. weither it be true or not- try the guilt trip and see if it slows him down a bit

Marriage counseling.
My father was greedy and spent money that we DIDN'T HAVE either. He got loans from all types of stores and put us into debt thigh high! It really ruined my last few years at home, I was only a teenager.
If he doesn't get help with his spending habits, his greed will continue and probably only increase; get worse. If after counseling he is still the same OR if he refuses counseling then you need to seperate and quickly because if he's making mistakes on credit, he can easily drag you down with him... that is what happened to my mother.

keep you money separate and gtet seperatwe credit cards, close your joint bank account, or have your name taken off it, get indicidual bills put in your own seperate names and plus you can pay 50/50 to utility bills? As for grocery shopping, cant you eat at seperte times - untilhe gets the message, meals for one etc, you could even go so far as to get your own fridges/name your own cupboards and put a lock on it?? sounds pretty extreme - are you sure a divorce isnt ont he cards??? Still you could try this for a month or so and see if he changes??? dont pick up his undes.iron his shirts, buy lager in the normal grocery shopping - he can get that out of HIS OWN money

Get SEPARATE Accounts, cancel all the Credit Cards, and get rid of his BUM REAR END right now before he spends you into oblivion and leaves you to pay those debts for the next decade or so!

Greed is an obsessive behaivor. Greed usually acompanies ingnorance.
It's a behaivoral pattern. I want more. I need more.
Ask him when is enough enough?
Does he want to work towards your bankruptcy or early retirement?

Confront him politely and with respect. Tell him that that he married you which means you are as one, decisions should be made between the both of you. or just tell him that at the rate he's going he's sure to be in debt soon.

Not a whole lot you can do - you can't really control what he does. Just maybe talk to him about it. I hope it works out.

Open a savings account in your name and don't let him know about it. Protect yourself.
