Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it's up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday's paper.
This week's question
My 45-year-old husband appears to be going though a mid-life crisis and is talking about getting a motorbike or a sports car. We can't afford either, but I'm more concerned he'll kill himself. Should I try to nip this in the bud, or is he beyond help? Someone suggested buying him a canoe – what have other desperate housewives done?
