29. “I never know when spending money on something will be an issue with him”

Brad and Becca live beyond their means. Depending on his mood, Brad either shuts down and stresses about the family spending too much money or he throws caution to the wind and runs up another huge charge on one of their ten credit cards. Why wait when you can have it now on an interest-free payment plan, right? Becca says it’s starting to make her worry for the future of their marriage.

Summary

Brad and Becca are in debt. Lots of it. Together they make $105,000 a year, but Brad makes impulsive flash purchases on credit cards.
