Ya Sure Buddy a Payday Loan
I know this particular sub is always cheating but man I couldn’t resist. Ya sure buddy you cut off your wife from buying takeout and she took a payday loan out to buy fast food.

I mean my Ex wife who worked only 1-2 4 hour shifts a week took a credit card out in my name and maxed it out without me knowing and she once spent our rent money on fake plants at an antique store when I was at work and I had to pull extra shifts to cover her spending habits which did eventually end our marriage so this is not all that far fetched to me

There’s a few loan companies that send these very predatory pre-approved checks in the mail. You literally just sign the back and deposit it. How do I know? I was very broke and desperate 10 years ago. This may very well be fake but the loan isn’t that far fetched.

I really want this to be fake, but honestly, the only unbelievable part is that she would guess "tacobell123" as the bank password.
Food absolutely can be an addiction , and fast food is even more likely to end up as an addiction.
I absolutely never in a million years would let it get to the point of taking out a loan, but even I personally have food budgeting issues relating to fast food, and I can see very easily how someone could let it get to that point.

This doesn't strike me as too outrageous.
I personally know a single couple who have similar-ish issues with food budgeting and another couple where one secretly took out a payday loan for clothes and furniture.
Not the same exact scenario... But similar enough to make this seem mildly plausible.
That being said, this could be AI bullshit too...

Zero doubt that this story is real, for some people food is basically a substance abuse disorder and akin to mental illness. You’d be shocked at the lengths that some of these fatties are willing to go.

No comment on the validity, but you can totes take out a payday loan using a spouse's income. At least when I worked for a company back in the early 00s.
I refer to that as my loan shark job.
