It's harder than watching tv all day and drinking soda, or surfing the Internet. Of course it's not easy!
Just drag yourself to the dept. of labor and tell them you need to learn how to find one. They'll certainly make it easier for you.
I've been searching for a job since I was laid off last year. Even going to the DOC (which is our DOL) is not much help either. When your only available M-F during the daytime because of childcare and being a military spouse your up a creek. Just yesterday a company shut down and that added more to the unemployment rate for this area.
I honestly don't see a problem with a wife having a secret stash. Being a military wife, I've seen my husband come home from a deployment and almost empty our savings for a car. If I would of had a secret stash, life would have been a bit easier recovering from his splurge.

Did you miss the part where I said the lady in question has no language skills. Try looking for a decent job in any language other than English & let us know how it goes.

How long has she been here and why has she not taken English classes. There are many ways to fix problems that do not involve stealing from you spouse.
She seems to be able to converse with you well enough for you to get involved in the drama.

It would be a much better investment for her future to invest in her own education and skill set. The money a person has eventually runs out, but no matter what is spent, her education stays with her. Nobody can take that away.

You obviously didn't read my suggestion that your friend should take English classes at her local technical college.

How do I know about this? Someone I know, a military spouse like yourself --except from a whole different, foreign language speaking country, did exactly that. She has a job now. She can speak reasonably good English after a lot of work and practice.

Freakingamazing, I tell you.
Good for her. Each situation is different. My requirements are off by 5, make at least $10/hour and no weekends....that right there has been very hard to find.
As I said before...there is a very high unemployment rate here (10.2% in the county I live in, 10.5 and 9.2 in the adjoining neighboring counties) and this does not include the companies that shut their doors in the past 2 days. That also does not include the 78K statewide who all lost their unemployment as of 6/30/2013. I'm not making excuses...the numbers speak for themselves.
Nothing wrong with a woman who's saving for 'just incase' moments. In fact all people should do that since you never know what the future holds.
There is nothing wrong with saving money.
There is nothing wrong with sneaking your spouse's money to save for a couple's Rainy Day Fund, a vacation or any other such thing that would be used together.
There IS something wrong with sneaking your spouse's money for your own personal benefit only. <---- This is theft.

She has obviously been here long enough to take an English as a second language class, and really there is no way she should not have done it by now. Her husband seemed to have been making plenty enough money to help her with this. He even handed her over a credit card!
No language skills. My babysitter when I was about 3-4 had no English language skills. She was Korean, I believe.
In the area I live in, there are so many people out in the workplace that I can barely understand because their English is so poor. Drives me crazy, but it is what it is.
I was looking at a help wanted ad the other day in the area of work that I am normally in.
"Must be able to speak and write enough English to be able to converse with the patients, co-workers, and physicians."
That was astonishing to me that someone only have to know 'enough' english who will be dealing with peoples medical charts, medications, etc, etc, but it is going on out there.
As another poster said, she is able to talk to you.....
