Millions of Americans live pay check to pay check but what happens when you are about to marry into that situation and it doesn’t seem like things are getting better?  As a matter of fact the wedding itself may have you in bankruptcy court?  Would you still be like the Cleveland Cavaliers Fans and be ‘ALL IN’?

A young brother wrote Sam Sylk, radio host of The Sam Sylk Show on 93.1 WZAK during his daily 1 pm Reality Hour segment, to figure out whether getting married is really worth the literal cost.   Should he bail now and chalk it up as a love loss or can Sam Sylk save his day or shall we LOVE LIFE?

Read the letter and the advice not even Dr. Phil could have came up with below.

Dear Sam

My fiancé and I are getting married this summer. Well at least supposed too. But she has a serious spending problem as it pertains to this wedding. The costs keep getting bigger and bigger. We already live paycheck to paycheck and keeping it 100 I recently found out that she has been robbing Peter to pay Paul with our bills. She try to live like we got it like that but we really don’t. We are both divorcees so it’s not like we haven’t had a wedding before, but the expense of this wedding is causing me to second guess my decision to marry her. Is my girl acting like a bougighetto super star a sign of hard times financially to come? Should I cut my losses now?
