Blue pill guy asks for advice about financial troubles in marriage from "Practical Money Advice for Real People", gets shamed and is told 'You have got to man up.'

The guy's more of an idiot than bp. You're driving a Benz and complaining about the cost of your kid's medication?

These two sound like they deserve each other.

"Dude, I'm really concerned about you" - nodded my head furiously

"How dare you criticize your wife for spending all of your money? You should be willing to sell your organs and even to die to allow her to do so. Here is what I suggest: run the house instead of her and realize that you can not live without her."

LMAO

EDIT: Really? Come on guys, this can't be serious.

Both of them have bad spending habits. Why is he driving a M-Class Benz (40,000 debt) with $30,000 in credit card debt?

The advice he received is even worse than their spending habits.

This post has caused quite the uproar. I'd like to clarify a few points. First, I didn't address the financials in the question, because I don't think the answers would actually help him. In my professional opinion, although he has significant financial problems, his primary issue has nothing to do with money.

What?

The more I read the pithy dribble coming out of the mouths of cunts like this Peter Dunn, the happier I am to be single and unwilling to ever marry.

yeah... I got an email from my now ex-wife that proclaimed I'd soon learn how much work the laundry can be. I'm glad she's gone and what I really wonder is what the hell she was spending money on and WTF she was doing all day.

For those that are curious.... the laundry for myself and two children takes up about an hour a week or as I see it... a little less time that I spend crapping.

I suspect that the writer got trolled here. It's too perfect of a setup. How daft could someone really be.

You know you can live rather well on 120k$ in a cheap country like the states, even with that student debt.

and how does this whole home economy thing work? 2 yaers ago I Was studying part time, working full time, lifting and managing everything about my house from groceries to cooking to laundery

while it was stresfull, this was definitly not for using home apliences, some of which I didn't even have such as a dishwasher or a dyer.

how could anyone tolerate this kind of frame and what kind of life is this? after reading RP I tend to think some of this stuff has got to be made up, but I actually see it in real life with those married mid 30 year old guys in my workplace, and they all talk as if this 'life cource' is a given, at which point I get them to complain about their nonexistant retirement prospects.

That is horrendous advice. He told the guy to get counseling??

There wasnt anything helpful about that.

Hope the questioner finds red pill soon.

Gut feeling tells me he's a bit of a clueless bumbling chump but his bitch more than likely filled up the cards buying stupid shit, and she also sounds like she doesn't do shit in the house - it being the Hardest Job in the World^TM and all that.

Financial advisor is a fucking White Knight.

His approach to exchange housework for spending money following a menu of prices however will fail miserably. You never want to be in a position to negotiate sex or chores with a woman. He's thinking she thinks like a man.

I know this guy isn't trolling with his advise,....but fuck,....I just can't believe people even think like this.....this is lightyears beyond bluepill
