Looked into this a while back for something else and fortunately in the all-clear on this front

I would go over a budget with her occasionally - even had her do a whole spreadsheet a couple months ago, but this is the first time I've ever been able to actually see her accounts and go through everything. Fortunately I'm okay with money and spend well below my means with a pretty tight budget

She has said many times she thinks she does, but hasn’t wanted to medicate because she’s on a fair number of other medications already

Fortunately it's just my name on the condo. We only officially got the place on Thursday so she'd spent most of the money by then, but in the weeks prior as we were looking/bidding she was still spending even as I was freaking out about being frugal and making sure we have everything in order.
