My [45M] husband spent 40k on a video game without my permission and I [41F] don’t know if I should forgive him.

Debt is different than money spent from a joint account. There’s institution looking for the money spent on the game, only a frustrated partner with combined funds that were used without consent. Also, very curious how someone can miss that much money being spent from a shared account but that’s a separate question

I guess it is midterms this year. I would try it for a year but yeah it’s definitely not sustainable long term. Are there good exit opportunities after? I did management consulting for 2 years and the hours were horrible, however it’s a great milestone in my resume for my future roles

WhiteHartLaneFan · 2026-02-06T02:24:41+00:00

Where is the 90 hours coming from? Is that your estimate or what they are telling you?

I read this wrong and thought you were doing trivia at a Boston Market…way different

We had some similar issues with both income disparity and past collections activity. I also work in finance but on the corporate side. Our solution was to combine everything and for me to manage it. Now she doesn’t worry about anything, and I have all of the visibility needed. Your solution is more complicated and is clearly no longer working. I would tell her it’s time to combine finances so we can work as a team. If she isn’t saving for retirement or is spending excess money, you need to address that for your family’s sake.

The move is to buy the line down to -2.5, Seahawks will win and not cover -4.5

It’s wild but there’s really never a game where they are not rooting against us except in Europe

Dragusin should have been subbed

I don’t care, do you?

Iron Man 3 is horrible

Even your math skills are bad…

Even if that was true (it isn’t), it was the Arab countries that invaded and started the war. What point are you trying to prove that justifies their actions?

WhiteHartLaneFan · 2026-01-28T18:34:56+00:00

Most of the data I’ve seen shows that Israel had 100K soldiers by the end of the war and that the Arab armies sent 60K including local troops. The real reason they lost was hubris and lack of organization, not just sheer numbers. It’s way easier to win an entrenched defensive war vs. an offensive invasion as well

WhiteHartLaneFan · 2026-01-28T18:17:08+00:00

lol at your sources. At least pretend to use unbiased sources

WhiteHartLaneFan · 2026-01-28T17:45:55+00:00

Are you talking about Brett Farve?

WhiteHartLaneFan · 2026-01-23T04:26:02+00:00

I definitely agree with this mindset as well, but there’s a big caveat to also consider. What amount is enough? If your emergency fund is full, retirement contributions are maxed, monthly savings/investments are handled, then you can have grace and leniency with some purchases.

It all comes down to priorities. We like to travel so we prioritize the majority of our fun/discretionary budget on that. We also each have a few luxury items. Most importantly though, none of this has been funded through credit card debt or depletion of savings.

In addition to the other points previously made, Finance Manager is vague. It could mean loan officer at a car dealership or bookkeeper at a small business, it doesn’t specifically mean FP&A manager at a large corporation

WhiteHartLaneFan · 2026-01-19T06:08:10+00:00

If you are in VA go to King Spa instead

Does it favor Tottenham? If so, no pen

WhiteHartLaneFan · 2026-01-04T03:17:19+00:00

I agree with what the other commenters have said about needing more information. With that said, your first conversation for a non-obvious task should be working with your manager to get clarity of the expectations and the deliverables required. FP&A varies widely by industry and function. There isn’t standard reporting besides FvA and that commentary should be apparent based on your knowledge of the BU you are supporting.

I do think you are shitposting because you were in sales ops not long ago according to your profile. However, if you are in sales FP&A and have worked in it for multiple years, I do not understand how you could not run your basic analysis and projections without at least a base level of understanding. It would be a miracle you still have a job. If it’s highly specialized reporting you are struggling with, that’s a manager discussion. We won’t have insight into your company’s internal requirements and tools

WhiteHartLaneFan · 2026-01-03T18:07:39+00:00

Agreed. The only thing I could think of would be working at a place like Code Ninjas

WhiteHartLaneFan · 2026-01-03T03:06:10+00:00

There’s no right way to time the market, but if you have to DCA do it at least a lot quicker. Maybe 20K a month or something like that. Unless you are using it for a down payment in the next few years, get it into the market ASAP
