They are married?
This is an idoitic post to put men against women shocker.
The minute u married her that debt is urs and Vice versa.
Should she have talked it thru yes but u don't divorce or things like this.
This is the first post in this thread made by an adult.
Anyone who knows how to manage money knows that you lose money when cash is sitting in a savings account when you also have high interest debt like student loans. Her students loans belong to both of them. This 100% should’ve been discussed with her husband before paying the student loans, but this was perhaps the most fiscally responsible thing she could’ve done.
Also, I’m havig a hard time believing that the wife only contributed 5k. If she was paying bills (rent utilities etc) and therefore freeing up money for him to put into the savings account then that counts. I have a similar arrangement with my hubby. He saves his check and I use mine to pay all the bills.
Again, she should’ve spoken to hubby about the money before taking action to pay down the debts, but this isn’t something you divorce for. If he believes she’s cheating or spending money recklessly then that’s a different issue.
