Unfortunately yes. One of my friends is married, but the situation was more of "crappy excuse after crappy excuse to cover his sorry ass".
I live in alaska, and what made his wife angry since they don't have all of the money in the world was that he didn't sign up for the permanent fund dividend (basically free money from the government up here if you're an alaskan resident). I know i signed up for mine and got like 1500$.
His wife was so angry at him because she signed up for hers and got it, and was wondering when his would come in the mail. It never did, it was excuse after excuse of how he didn't want to get stuck in the "system", how he doesn't like to receive money from the state, etc. It was just because he forgot to sign up for it.
What's funny is that he's signed up for it before. It's basically free money with no strings attatched aside from needing to be a resident. The government up here could care less if you don't sign up for it. The free money helps stimulate the economy up here.
Oh well, that would have been 3000$ combined free money for his wife and him to get out of debt with. Sorry ass indeed
