When I do the math, it's less than $500 a month,
which is 16 dollars a day, or $2 per kid... .that she misspent.
Misspent is like a polite way to put it. If money is in the budget, and is moved around and spent on something else, perhaps without your partners consent... .I would say that is misspent.
There was a little bit of that.
The majority of it was emptying a reserve account that was joint access. She put it in her own account and sent most of it to her family.
It was almost the downfall financially of our family, I'm still dealing with some of the fallout from that. Long meeting with CPA today about stuff that happened back in 2014... .has reared it's head again... today.
Some things I would really not think about again... .seem to be back and affecting a current tax return. Hopefully it can be straightened out in a couple days... .
Sigh... .
