    This guy is definitely controlling. I take care of originating the budget in my home, but my wife is 100% involved in decisions, and she realizes the costs of a want vs a need, as do I. We got so frugal while in baby step 2 that now she's afraid to spend money and I have to remind her that the spending was part of the plan that WE made. I love my wife.

    I gave all my credit card, debit card, and money to my girlfriend ( now wife ) back then.... Everything I made, she had control over. Of course, if I wanted something, I just took the card and went and buy whatever I wanted. I would consult her if it cost more than 50$.
    She made us rich. ( my own definition of rich ) Never regretted giving her control. We saw our strong points. She his very good with money. And I was really good at making life choices. Where we live, where we work, what our plans are for our life, I made those choices. ( we like the same things ) and everything moneywise, she took control.
    It still works that way and we are both very happy.

Letting my wife hold onto our money has made it were we went from not having $20 between us to we really don't feel like we ever have an emergency. We do always feel poor... but that's more self imposed than anything.

    Sounds like he's not only controlling, but the more she sacrifices to save towards their stated goals the more he has to spend/waste on his own personal wants. Her buying decor for their home isn't about her spend on petty wants, its an attempt to disable him from getting them further off track. Her hard work is fueling his contempt.

      I agree that it's a hobby for most of Americans, but I don't agree with your numbers. Personally, by the time I'm done with my whitetail hunting, I've filled the freezer with meat at $0.75 per pound or less depending on how many deer I'm allowed to harvest each year (First tag this year was $34, extra tags were $18, it costs me $1 per shot, and I'll round up to $50 for gas and food for 2 weekends, to harvest at least 150 pounds of meat). I don't have the latest and greatest equipment, in fact I'm pretty bare bones even by 50-years-ago standards. I do my own processing with 2nd hand equipment that I paid pennies-on-the-dollar for years ago. It's a lot of sweat equity, but my family eats well for very cheap. And for Colorado people, I could see an elk hunt being just as easily feasible for them as a whitetail hunt is for me.

    Wow! Great advice. I am a stay at home mom and my sacrifices are totally overlooked. I haven't been to the salon in a year. Now, my husband wants to end the use of my card, although he has a few credit cards. That puts me in a situation I'm not comfortable with. I don't feel like I should have to ASK to pay for gas to drive the children to school and events. I also don't feel like I should have to ASK my husband to pay for personal items such as hair products, feminine products, etc. Unfortunately, the young woman in the audio sounds somewhat like me, and her financial situation sounds similar to ours. I highly recommend she listens to Dave, because after 25 years, I'm ready to move on to a grown relationship even if it's by myself.

    I think it's okay to set aside a little discretionary budget for yourself every month but it's all about balance. They need to sit down together and decide what that magic discretionary amount is and not worry about what the other is spending it on...it's theirs to do what they please. For a couple I would make the amounts the same just to be fair.

The mother knew what was best for the baby man, the baby man didn't get an equal vote on what's for breakfast. And now, the opinion of the man who does the budget takes precedence over the opinions of someone who doesn't even know how much her makeup costs. Maybe when she has some idea what she's doing she can take over the budget and give HIM permission to hunt elk. Until then, follow.

    I think wants and needs are easily blurred. I have seen some instances of this at my workplace which is a well known retail store. There will be an "associate in need" situation brought to everyone's attention that is actually someone not managing their finances situation. Money was taken up for a lady who didn't have shoes for work that was wearing her husband's shoes, two days later she was seen buying 3 or 4 movies in the electronics department. I think happens in the welfare system in this country.Sure you don't have money for groceries if you buy makeup, nails purses,i-phones, expensive cars, and everything else your heart desires. In the meantime, an elderly person who has saved and scrimped can't get help because they own a home and have little savings.Sorry about the rant and I know it has little to do with this call.

    I went through this with my husband. All he was concerned with was that it was “uncontrolled” or “random” spending. I agreed with him. I, with him, sat down and agreed on some necessary home expenses that were reasonable and he agreed he wanted. We put a number in it and saved for it. I also cut his hair myself so we save on that so getting my haircut at Supercuts for $20 twice a year doesn’t bother him. Frankly, I could spend more but I don’t want to☺️ it is true though that decorating a house from scratch is expensive but also not totally necessary. You need to be patient and use coupons/spread it out over time. It is really fine, most Americans have too much in their home anyways. It’s a balance. I’m sure he just doesn’t know the necessity of what she is wanting and is afraid if he says yes that there will be no cap on her spending.

We prefer to still eat out once a week though. I think many women can rethink their beauty expenses and invest elsewhere, like personal development and stuff.

I give him some blow money that he agrees on the amount. Most months are consistent so we don't consult on those months. Just maybe like hey this is happening. If something changes like he needs shoes or I wanna get my hair done
    We decide that beforehand and put it in the budget.

    In the 1990's I read a convincing account of how much it would cost to pay a Home Maker and a Stay at home parent (usually the mom) for all the hours and jobs she does.
    It equated to $70,000 in the 1990's. With how much "traditionally women's work" pay on the dollar to a man in the same job in a "women's" profession.
    So who earns the most money? Who brings the most value to the marriage and family?
    Yes valid questions but what about this... 50:50 is not fair unless the entire value is taken into account. The entire context. All the work of making a family, couple hood, home...
    The one who brings in the most, does the most, adds the most value with elbow grease time and conscientious dedication gets to skim the cream a little but the other person still needs to have some fun/comfort money. Joint account for all deposits with allotments to separate accounts. This works the best.
    And the nest/decor and social connections matter most to women usually - so they are valid withdrawal from the joint... in most cases with sensible debt payment and sensible spending. Not grandiose or entitled but within one's means. DIY it is ... often.

      No they do not do the same thing. Home making mothers do so much more for no overt pay or societal recognition. Other developed countries like France, Germany, Switzerland etc - acknowledge the value here. Nannies are not on call 24 hours. I think you discount all that a home maker and mother do - and without direct pay or retirement assurance. It is those who diminish the value who think its a pat on the head for the momma who stays home to acknowledge the great value in outside the home work dollars. There is no comparison to the commitment of a mother versus a nanny. You have to know this right?

      This whole thread is silly. Unless you go to Great Clips where they chop your hair up, no where near me is $10.00 for men's hair cuts. My husband gets his hair cut more frequently than I do, so though it's on average 15-20$ cheaper, he does so more (every 2-2.5 months). However an average woman's haircut (decent) is $40, and add on any type of color for 80$. Rough numbers. And she clearly said she gets her hair done every 6 months or so, not for $10 a month every month.
