Introduction

April 18th, 2009 at 01:52 pm

Hello, I am the Debt Man's Wife and I thought I would start a blog to help keep track of my husband's debt, ideas to get it all paid off and build his credit score.

Even though he is a great guy, he has made some poor choices when managing his money.

That is where I come in. I already owned a home when we were married 8 years ago. I have no debt, but my mortgage, but he came into our marriage with lots of debt.

First off, he didn't file his taxes for 3 years, so for the first four years of our marriage, the tax man took all of our income tax returns to pay back his debt. I didn't know about this before I married him, but it is over now and we have come to some mutual understanding.

So, first off, I will post a new entry on what needs to be dealt with and try to get some solutions.

Looking forward to hearing great suggestions from this group.

    Welcome! I can relate, my husband came into the marriage with some debt I didn't know about either. We have paid that back, but we are still working on other "surprise" debts. Good luck!

    I look forward to your posts because it sounds like you and I are in the same situation!!! My DH has taxes as well as medical bills due to no insurance. We are working through our financial issues seperately right now.

    My husband and I have been married for two months and he just came clean with me about the amount if debt he is in. He wants to file for bankruptcy to start over. I think he should short sell his home to pay off of the bills he has incurred. Any advice?
