A couple's shared savings is key to their financial security. But, what if one partner uses the funds for a personal investment without telling the other? This has ignited a fiery dispute within a couple.
'John' has been married for 9 years and has a son. Over the years, he and his wife have saved a significant amount in a joint account, easing his financial anxiety.
John found two thirds of their money missing upon logging into their online bank account. "I was confused and questioned my wife immediately," he said.
At this point, John’s frustration has reached a tipping point. “I started yelling at my wife, asking her why she would use our joint savings for this irresponsible purchase.”
Many deem it reckless. One said, "Irresponsible and ignorant for a spouse to quit job, deplete savings for a business purchase without prior discussion."
