Separate Finances?

Twice Scammed, Twice Shy?
Our dear husband has had enough! After his wife fell for a scam involving prepaid gift cards and the MVA, he thought she’d learned her lesson. But alas, she was scammed again, this time by the fake IRS! With threats of jail time and losing their house, she panicked and gave away their joint account information. Luckily, hubby was able to stop the transaction in time. But now, he’s left wondering if it’s time to separate their finances to protect his money. After all, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me, right? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
