There are some dedicated alcoholics down under with prices like that!

Move the money. Let the chips fall where they may. This dude is on a collision course with his bottom there is no need for you to cushion it for him or delay the inevitable with your money that should be used for the benefit of the household and kids.

Thanks everyone. Moved the money, and feel little guilt in doing so. He may be an alcoholic, and he may be walking away for all his rersonaibilities, but he can still bloody well pay for them. And if he can't, I'll make that happen.

He went to detox today, and he's not allowed contact, I'm glad for the peace.

Hi Jarp, I'm glad for your sake he's gone to detox, and I hope it's followed by meaningful treatment. At least he can't overspend where he is.

Your attitude toward the money is refreshingly healthy, and if he recovers I'm sure he'll thank you for it.

Had to lol at the shock about Aussie prices from our overseas friends! I'm so used to them I forget what they look like to others.
