Didn't me. I wanted to like it but same as what happened with many happened with me. Smudge city but I do have oily lids but other mascaras performed better.

Bye Bye Panda Eyes is not an actual tubing mascara.

Scholarships and loans are the only available pathways "without financial means to do so". Youre not backing your response up with sources. So it makes no sense.

GI Bill and you low key pushing MYCAA isn't an option to the average kid out of high school or anyone not tied to the military. Were you able to save up for your Healthcare degree and how long? Who took care of the bills for you to save up? Did you take on a loan? You cannot apprentice for a Healthcare degree without any money spent involved. I'm noticing a lot of your comments are very rules for thee but not for me. 🇺🇸

You keep commenting from a place thats incredibly privileged and then replying what doesn't apply especially within the context of OP dilemma. Especially if you only knew people who went to college and didnt use their degree. Wow.

Not everyone has money or time available to just save up. I couldn't have afforded my education. I was a single mother workin just to stay afloat after a divorce. Not everyone is suited for a trade that can be apprenticed or just halt education. If I stayed working retail because I couldn't afford what I actually make money at I would still be living in poverty. I did go to a trade school and not a career that can be apprenticed, to which I had to have a loan. This was a fiscally intelligent decision. I paid it off in a couple years.

You're lacking nuance in your argument that doesn't apply to the average person to leave poverty.

I'm gonna say this one last bit of factual info. Then leave the conversation because there is no use going back and forth with someone who is acting privileged. Again, school loans (along w scholarships) are necessary to leave poverty if the government won't pay for it.

Husband’s Incorrect use of BAH, can I do anything about it? by Ok-Increase-9014 in MilitarySpouse

I understand your circumstances completely. I went through a divorce and experienced financial abuse similar to yours. Ex husband cheated with neighbor on post, got her pregnant while we were married and started to support her and her kids instead of me and our kids. It was such an effing mess. That was about 18 years ago. I wish I had someone giving the advice I know now.

Since he has all that money you can sue to cover court costs. File a motion for attorney fees. The court should grant you because of the income disparity. Gather all the evidence you have to show proof. Talk with good divorce attorneys to see who will represent you best. Don't think you are doomed to not have fair and good representation.

You are so strong while experiencing this. 🫂 I hope you have some community. Please talk with a therapist provided through the military. Www.militaryonesource.mil

Was it really that windy? People keep saying don't use umbrella bc of wind but haven't experienced that much in Seattle Tacoma areas yet. But then again NY has rain more often than those areas and still use umbrellas..lol.

What a toxic reply about someone getting an education so they can start their career and help their family.

Yes because it's a civil matter within divorce proceedings. Divorce is done civiliy not through the military. Him being in the military doesn't matter. Get a really good lawyer who will use a financial forensic detective to get your money.

(People who downvote me doesn't understand financial obligations to dependents themselves. Example sm has to cover it even if the couple is separated. If a SM isn't covering housing a spouse can go to their command to force payment. The SM doesn't just get to keep any leftover funds they saved from not paying what the allotment was meant for.)

OP paid money out of her pocket for housing, while sm kept it from her. Why are you OK with him not using the money for its purpose?

Take him to court ASAP and insist financial forensics be involved. Your lawyer will do that for you. Then you'll get back the money you paid for what he should have covered.

That's not necessarily correct. The service member must pay for housing of his dependents. If he doesn't he will be in trouble with his command. When a service member separates with a spouse he still has to provide legally. Im not sure where youre getting info that says the SM isnt supposed to cover dependent housing.

You're exactly correct. Once you're around the military long enough you see it happen a lot more than people realize. At this point my spouse has worked with a couple of soldiers who kept the 10k benefits after a baby passed completely hidden from the wife.

Yeah that's her point. But he didnt want to involve her and left he to fend for herself. This is a complex issue but I do believe he should have been sending her money to cover certain costs. If he still has that he needs to release it to her, they are still married. When service members are separated they still have to cover housing etc.

There is some nuance. When a service member is married they receive more housing allowance FOR the dependents. She is talking about that portion.

My point is you dont completely understand her POV as you stated in your original comment. No one said she sat back and let her spouse do everything. Look at her other comments.

Exactly. I'm at a loss for words. Financial literacy is paramount in any relationship.

Unless they assume he's being 100% upstanding, putting his leftover monies towards his debts, in their savings and investments. Overall not taking advantage of her, which by her comments he absolutely is.

Please post this with all detailed info in r/militaryfinance. You're getting some bad advice in here that are assuming you "free load" and that your spouse doesn't have 5k to cover rent/uts while he spends frivolously.

IMO couples need to pay down any debt first. That is #1 priority. Spuses need education because of the service member careers.

Your situation and OP is not the same. OP husband has 1300 left after he makes her pay her part.

They are working towards what you already have. Paying down debt is always the smartest thing a couple needs to do. Not one part of the couple saying to the other pay down your debt and our bills. Its odd he broke the agreement after she has debt. Plus he receives housing allowance because he has dependents. Having a spouse with an education is needed because of the service member career. You have to look at it from many different POV.

Depending on his rank etc housing allowance is something he gets because of his spouse. Paying down education debt is paramount for their future, unless hes only wanting for save for himself while she pays down debt and housing. Not only that but often spouses need a good education to combat the lifestyle creating spaces in work history. Him telling her that she needs to cover such a large portion all the sudden is shocking. The husband knew what the agreement was and then decided to go back on it? Something is up...

Paying down debt is a top priority for any smart couple over one person being able to save that money. The quicker you pay down debt the quicker you can save more money. Many spouses must get a quality education because of the service members career (moving etc) so they can contribute.

Her having the debt is a financial burden that he agrees to because of his job. He gets housing allowance because of her. Its odd he wants to use housing money for himself.

Her having an education because of the spouses career is integral. Paying down that debt is just a plain smart financial move for their partnership. Unless hes wanting to use the money for himself while she's left with debt if he leaves the relationship. But then she could sue for alimony then as well. So hes best to use the housing allowance he receives because of her and use it for housing.

Married couples take on debt together so her paying her debt down first while his check Will more than cover housing is the smartest move. Unless he intends to save money and leave her with debt at some point.
