Thread: I Put My $112,000 Wedding On A Credit Card! Dave Ramsey Youtube

Comments: Just when I think I'm fiscally irresponsible at times..... I listen to this show and realize that there are some really irresponsible people out there.

Who spends 112k on a wedding while also having 40k in student loan debt?

These people are pretty wealthy so they can easily pay it -- the crying was very dramatic. But still, I'd never recommend a man be involved in a wedding that costs that much. And if the woman wants it...leave her. If a woman cares anything about the cost of her ring...leave her.

I think someone once said that women want is to have weddings and be the center of attention - what they don't want is to be married. $112K Me Day - then file for divorce within 7 years and do another Me Day wedding?

I'm...umm.... speechless...wow

Why would anyone with half a brain cell want to introduce the state (government/courts) into your relationship??? It's bad enough another person in your wallet taking out money why would you invite the courts in also. Three is a crowd, keep the state out!!!!

Laws vary by location. Assets acquired before marriage may not be marital assets. Maybe that is why husband wants to leave his assets alone. Come "D Day" and split happens he may be up for some of the debt but if he has kept his assets acquired before the wedding separate from marital assets it might only be an increase in value while married that will be split. Same as debt, if that was her student loan from before marriage it might be her debt after the split. Children can impact all of this.

Marriage: The only contract where the person most often breaking it, benefits. Women file for divorce ~70% of the time.

No sympathy for this dumbass Woman. Spending a yearly salary's worth on a wedding that lasts a whole day is bad enough but putting that on a credit card is fucking suicide at least for the average person. I heard she and her husband are millionaires so I'm sure they can pay it off eventually. Stop feeling pity for Women when they manage to make terrible choices that fuck up their own lives and force them to be accountable for it.

Huston, we have a problem...

Imagine being that far in debt just for a fucking wedding. You would still be paying it off long after the divorce, and the divorce will just hit you with even more debts. You could just get married at City Hall or in Vegas or just have a few friends over for a basic back yard ceremony. You could get a beautiful gold ring with a gorgeous Cubic Zirconia stone for around $400, but no. Women demand the absurdly overpriced diamonds, which aren't any better quality than the CZs.

Weddings and marriage are a money scam. Then you get scammed by the next scam: divorce.

She's crying because her innate behavior is at conflict with the fact that she whatever arguments she's having with her husband, she can't win.
Because the minute she tries to spin it, he simply points out that she spent 112K on a wedding and he's not selling his stocks to bail her out.
Then he somehow "lost" his job too, putting his income at zero, so her chances of getting his stock to pay the debt rather than pay bills is diminishing.

I'm willing to bet that he wants to leave the marriage (annulment) and since he has no job, the debt will most likely be split (are the student loans his or hers?). He'll pay his half and she'd be fucked.

That's why she's crying.

But think about the amount of airline miles she got on that transaction! Totally worth it!!!

Not lately with all the ATC computer system meltdowns. It's one thing to tell a pilot he can't take off, but it's entirely something else when the tell the pilots they CAN'T LAND!

This is sounding more and more like another 9/11

That's an easy question: someone who is sure her husband will pay all that debt.

You're right. They had plenty of options other than putting this on a CC. I bet this could've been a test for her to see how much he "loved" her. She's thinking she can pout about how expensive the wedding they "deserved" was after the fact and if he really cares about her he will give up something of his to make the bad thing (CC debt) go away.

This guy has somewhat of a backbone and is standing his ground. We also know this because when the host asked her how he would feel about selling the 3rd home -- she said he wouldn't mind at all because that's the house SHE owns. He has basically told her that she can sell the house she owns and pay off the wedding/ring. She was likely the one wanting such extravagance.
