I actually know of a couple with 2 kids who are like this.
he spends all his money on tools for his self employed property maintenance business. she spends all his money on her 'luxury' lifestyle.

no bills are being paid.
he thinks it's all down to her because he's working 7 days a week, and she puts everything off till he gets his next big cheque.
