[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 18341, member: 84"] Emily I'm wondering if my husband had a twin I don't know about.[img]:rolleyes:[/img] I know how rough it can be. With raising the money for a new account tough right now you can do 2 things that I can think of. 1. Pay everything you normally pay with checks with money orders. (paying each as soon as the money comes in to pay them) or 2. Start bank shopping. Not all banks require that high of deposit to start a new account. Look into accounts with minimum frills. I had to take all money from husband to get him to get a grip on his spending habits. He never had cash on him , and I paid everything via money orders as soon as each paycheck came in. It was a royal PITA. But it finally showed husband how his spending habits had been killing our finances for years. I gradually let him start to have some cash, then eased him into the banking, and much later back into paying bills. But husband had agreed to all of the above. It was that or a divorce. I'd had it at the time. I had to do it with money orders because anyone on an account can write a counter check on that account. And husband would constantly do that to me. There were checks bouncing all over town. I still watch him. But he hasn't done too bad. I'm so sorry. I know how much it hurts, all the way around. ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
