Montreal woman is worried about husband's gambling addiction — now he owes $1.1M. Ramsey Show hosts said to do this ASAP
It's common for spouses to combine finances — but sometimes, even when you keep your money separate, one partner's bad habits can impact the other's financial future. Such is the case for Sarah from Montreal, Quebec, who called into The Ramsey Show two weeks after learning that her husband has a gambling addiction. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Robert Kiyosaki warns of a 'Greater Depression' coming to the US — with millions of Americans going poor. But he says these 2 'easy-money' assets will bring in 'great wealth'. How to get in now Despite having been together for 11 years, Sarah only recently discovered that her husband has racked up $1.1 million in debt over the past decade. Now, she's taken over his finances and wants to help him tackle his debts. "He had like maybe $1,000 left in his bank account and everything was maxed, so he needed help," said Sarah. The problem? She has no idea where to start. A tricky financial situation Sarah has long wanted to combine her finances with her husband, but he has always pushed back on the idea. On top of dealing with a gambling addiction that he had kept a secret, his debts have also made him fall behind on his taxes. Sarah's husband likely wanted to keep his finances separate so that he didn't drag her down into his mess, but as Sarah explained to hosts George Kamel and Jade Warshaw, her husband's actions have impacted them both. For one thing, the Canadian couple had plans to buy a home in Florida when Sarah thought they were doing well financially. Sarah herself has been saving well and thought her husband was doing the same. This gambling news came as a major blow, especially since it caught her off guard. "I was, like, totally, totally shocked," Sarah shared on the show. Now, the one saving grace is that Sarah's husband earns a high income from his business, which earns an annual revenue of about $1.3 million. And while that's not all profit, Sarah says her husband earns about $100,000 a month and they pay taxes on those earnings. However, he owes over $1 million, broken down as follows: $64,000 in back taxes from 2024 $550,000 in provisional taxes for the upcoming year (a requirement in Canada for high earners) $438,000 in a mortgage line of credit, or home equity line of credit (HELOC) $125,000 in a personal line of credit Sarah said that she and her husband are in couples therapy, while the two also see their own therapists individually. For Sarah, she hopes her therapy will help her cope with what's happened, while her husband's therapy will hopefully address his gambling addiction. Meanwhile, Kamel and Warshaw had advice for Sarah. Kamel told Sarah that she should take away her husband's remaining credit card and freeze his credit so that he can't take out another loan and spend more money on gambling. Warshaw, meanwhile, gave Sarah advice on how to tackle all of her husband's debt, which starts with paying off the taxes. "Do the old ones first, and then once you've cleared those, then start doing the prep for the next year," said Warshaw. Next, Warshaw recommended tackling the personal line of credit. "Do it in order like the debt snowball — personal loans first, smallest to largest," said Warshaw. After that, Warshaw suggested paying off the HELOC. Hopefully, if Sarah's husband continues to earn a good income and they stick to this plan, the two of them can dig their way out of this financial hole. Stay in the know.

Gambling addictions are on the rise Ever since the Supreme Court took steps to legalize sports betting, there's been an uptick in that activity, along with people seeking help with gambling addictions, according to a recent study by the University of California San Diego Qualcomm Institute and School of Medicine. The study's data found that internet searches for help with gambling addictions rose 23% on a national scale since 2018. Meanwhile, states that two million U.S. adults meet the criteria for a severe gambling addiction, while four to six million have a mild or moderate gambling addiction. Recent data from Gaming America also found that 10% of men 30 and under show signs of a gambling problem, compared to 3% of the general population. Part of the increase may be due to the growing popularity and availability of online sportsbooks, which have made it easier for people to bet on sports. But either way, a gambling addiction can be a costly problem to have. The National Council on Problem Gambling says the annual social cost of problematic gambling is an astounding $14 billion. According to the average man with a gambling addiction has anywhere from $55,000 to $90,000 of debt. Women with gambling addictions, meanwhile, have an average debt of $15,000.

You may want to consider consulting a financial advisor or a debt relief company for assistance. In some extreme cases, filing for bankruptcy might also be an option.

TFSA Investors: 2 TSX Stocks With Ultra Safe Dividends
Written by Adam Othman at The Motley Fool Canada Dividend investing is one of the best strategies that Canadian investors rely on for reliable long-term wealth growth. I am not talking about investing in ultra-high-yielding dividend stocks. A sound long-term strategy focuses on sustainability and not higher dividends. Rather than picking stocks for higher yields, it is better to consider whether the underlying business is good enough to maintain and grow payouts. The TSX boasts several high-quality stocks with a reputation for delivering rock-solid dividend payouts and lengthy dividend-growth streaks. These stocks have underlying businesses with solid fundamentals, healthy balance sheets, and the kind of consistent cash flows that make them dependable even during bear markets. Given this backdrop, here are two TSX dividend stocks with ultra-safe dividends that might warrant a place in any self-directed income-focused portfolio. Fortis Fortis Inc. (TSX:FTS) is the darling stock for many income-focused investors as a better alternative to fixed-income securities. The $34.8 billion market-cap company owns and operates 10 utility transmission and distribution assets in Canada and the US, and it has stakes in several utility companies in the Caribbean. Utility companies aren't the most exciting for growth-seeking investors, but they offer reliable dividends. Most of Fortis' revenue comes from long-term contracted assets in highly rate-regulated markets. It means the cash flow is predictable and largely unaffected by broader economic volatility. The debt-intensive nature of the industry means higher interest rates can weigh on its financials. That is what likely contributed to weaker performance in recent years, but the recovery is evident since the central banks started reducing key interest rates. Thanks to its low-risk earnings and the defensive nature of the industry, Fortis stock has increased its payout for 51 years and maintained a sustainable payout ratio. As of this writing, it trades for $69.30 per share and boasts a 3.6% dividend yield. Canadian Natural Resources Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (TSX:CNQ) is another stock with ultra-safe dividends. The Calgary-headquartered $90.2 billion market-cap company is one of Western Canada's largest oil and natural gas producers, with operations in offshore Africa and the North Sea further supplementing its operations. It has an extensive and diversified portfolio of low-decline and long-life assets. The company's low maintenance capital spending generates significant free cash flows, even when commodity prices are volatile. CNQ also benefits from low break-even costs to sustain dividends and operations, offering it a cushion during downturns and driving growth during upticks. CNQ stock has a 25-year dividend-growth streak, with a 21% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The company is leveraging the low-interest rate environment to reduce its debt and position itself for potential strategic acquisitions. As of this writing, it trades for $43.12 per share and boasts a 5.5% dividend yield. Foolish takeaway It's important to remember that stock market investing is inherently risky. Dividend hikes or payout regularity are not a 100% guarantee, even when you invest in blue-chip stocks with virtually impeccable track records. By doing your due diligence, you can minimize the capital risk but not eliminate it. Building a portfolio of such high-quality stocks in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) can be an excellent strategy. The tax-sheltered status of the account means you will not incur income or capital gains taxes on your returns. Reinvesting dividends to buy more shares can help you unlock the power of compounding to accelerate your wealth growth. To this end, FTS stock and CNQ stock can be excellent buy-and-forget holdings to consider for your self-directed investment portfolio.
