Bennie is one of my favorite guys. Ben Franklin, the guy you find on the hundred dollar bill. He said, A penny saved, is a penny earned. How do you date a spendaholic? This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls, a boomer woman's guide to men and dating, and host of Ask Dr. Paul. A spendaholic is a tough one to date, and it doesn't have to be on anything special. It's just that they spend money. It makes them feel good. Whether they have it or not, is not an issue. Credit cards will work. Indebtedness, will work. Second mortgages will work. Well, maybe not so much anymore. We know the entire society was into being spendaholics, and that is where this society is right now. A real bubble burst with the housing bubble. Now, the spendaholics are still spendaholics, in many cases, and they are just as happy to spend yours. The way to date a spendaholic, is to try to reason with them. You may or may not be able to. Tell them, Look you're a great person. I really, really want to be with you. I really enjoy your company. Whether it be a man or a woman, you're talking to. The point in time where spendaholics are over, is now, and this is it. You've got to stop this awesome, awesome addiction, and oftentimes they don't want to, and I will actually tell you, that I've had clinical psychologists as guests on my show, and they have said, sometimes the only way to rid themselves of that addiction, is to go for counseling, so my friends, the best suggestion I can give to you, is try the counseling route. It may be the only way to date that spendaholic. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today, be your realities of tomorrow.
