Blowing Money

I spend my free time earning extra money online. Eagerly await the check. Deposit it and immediately put it all on credit card payments.
Then DH blows money on bowling or football tickets and can spend all I make over the course of the month.

I'm sorry! I can hear the frustration and discouragment in your post. I have felt similarly in my marriage. I would advise you to try to get on the same page as dh if possible, though I'm guessing that bridge has already been an attempt for you to cross many, many times...
Just don't give up, okay? There has got to be a way for you to get ahead and out of debt whether or not dh jumps on board.
What happens when you gently and truthfully put your foot down regarding these things like football/bowling? What would happen if you were doing the same thing: spending money that isn't there on your hobbies/interests? What would your dh say?
Again, I am sorry and wish I had more to add. Hopefully others on this board can give you some helpful advice.
Take care,
A.
