what?

i let the ex

take over the finances one year.

after

a heated session

at the marriage counselor

they broke

me down.

okay, okay.

you take over the check book

i told her.

you pay the bills.

i handed it over

to her.

it had a solid two thousand

in the account.

back up money.

emergency funds,

etc.

the next month i took a look

at the account

and the balance was down

to zero.

i asked her what happened

to the reserves

and she said, you told me

to balance it out,

so now we're at a clean

starting point.

zero.
