Money, marriage and mental health

 Money has long been a strain in my life and a strain on my marriage. For 2 and a half years I have been the sole bread winner. Thats fine and we make enough but my wife wont budget or stick to a budget. She wont cut up her credit card either. She doesnt rack it up but keeps it for "emergencies" unfortunately emergencies are things like buying a window AC from Costco or securing a lakeside cabin for a girls trip and still waiting for her friends to pay us back.

Not sure why but woke up today depressed. I usually dont take adderall on the weekends. Maybe thats it. Maybe its my circumstance.

Wife goes to Costco she takes 200$ cash. Please try to keep it to that theres not much in the debit account. Well she went over thats fine. She calls me from the grocery store "what kind of beer should i get for my friends coming over for the bbq?" Why are we buying beer? We took money last month from our kids savings account and still havent paid that fully back... 9 days til pay day.

I think I'm going to ask my boss of i can work some Saturdays. I think I would rather be at work than at home right now.
