Can't Afford to Leave Your Spouse? Tips On How To Change That!

Are You Trapped in an Unhappy Marriage Because You Believe That You Can’t Afford to Leave?”

That's what I thought too. I'm a 39 yr old disabled housewife. I have no money of my own, no assets of my own - he controlled it all. For the little bit of money I did get, I had to turn in receipts that account for every penny.....so you're thinking, how can you save any money to be able to leave with that kind of control he has on you, right? Well, with a little creativity, YOU CAN!

The easiest way, and believe it or not, it can add up QUICK is coupon clipping. The internet was a great resource for cents off coupons, rebates, and freebies. My rebates all went to my friend's address. It helps to have a friend that you can count on :-) She opened a special savings account for me as well in her child's name so that "my" money wouldn't show up in any research his private detectives did.

Did you know that AFTER you check out at the grocery store, you can bring your receipt to customer service - tell them you forgot to use your coupons, and they will refund you the amount on the coupons in cash????? ..and double coupon days if you can find them are a GOLD MINE for this!...so when he checks that receipt, you're in the clear and the money is YOURS!

Another way I was able to save a few extra dollars was to buy some items each trip for a friend of mine. She was able to save a trip to the store, and re-payed me cash for them. I bought a LOT of groceries & "feminine products" in those days :-) Those are the 2 things husbands, even the "strictest" most controlling ones don't question!

That is only a few of the ways I was able to "afford" to leave my husband. Periodically, I'll be sharing these type of tips in my blog (so check back frequently) with the hope of being able to help someone else out of this situation.
