Oh, I really, really feel for you, BNLsMom. Your story reminds me of my ex.

Because my mom passed away when I was a kid, I got her share of the inheritance when my grandma passed away. At 20 years old I had $150,000. At 25 years old, I was negative $30,000. And I have no idea what he spent it on. Once I tried to get him to explain how to understand the online checking account list (I married him and didn't even understand how a checking account worked...) and he told me it was too complicated for me to understand.

The worst I remember was the last house my family sold, I got $30,000. It was a Thrusday morning when the money came in. We decided to go to Vegas that weekend for fun. Friday we spent the day driving and got there that evening. In the morning we left the hotel to get ready to do things and I started naming things off. And he says, "Slow down, we're broke.'

Broke.

I can still remember exactly the scenery I was looking at in front of the Fitzgerald's as he said those words. $30,000 in 2 days. On what? I have no idea.... none...
