I quite often fight with my husband about money though it is not severe. Currently, we are in financial difficulties, we trapped in a large debt to buy a house. Because of our financial situation, we often make debate when want to buy something for our daily need. Do you often have disagreements with your partner in managing finances?

We seldom have a fight about money. As we are couples, we should share everything. In fact my husband is very nice and he gives me all of his salary. He earns quite a lot more than me. But I am the one who is charging our money. Every month I will give my husband some money for his expense. And he can use the credit card or debit card to pay anytime. I always want him to have cash because it makes me feel safe. But in fact my husband seldom consumes more. Usually I am the one who buy big products. He trusts me and lets me to handle money. So I will be careful not to waste our earnings. Since we are united, we shall earn more because a peaceful family will have lucks.

@srisahara In fact sometimes I even beg my husband to buy something. So whenever he asks me to buy something, I will just buy it right away. As I know it is necessary for him.

I glad to hear that, you and your husband has a good commitment on your earn. Actually my husband also give all his salary to me. But one thing that makes different between your husband and my husband is your husband seldom consumes more but my husband always consumes more. It is one cause of my fight about the money with my husband...

I am sorry that you sometimes have some arguments with your partner. I haven't had any fights with my boyfriend yet actually. Been nearly two years and we haven't had a fight. But I guess this could also help that we don't live together yet. I am sort of ready and sort of not but for now all seems good. Plus, if anything was wrong, I am the type of person to talk about things instead of arguing. Life is too short to be at each others throats.

I don't remember I have ever fight with my husband about money. My husband is better in managing the finances, and I always trust him in that. We usually only buy things that we need to, especially after I have quit my office job and become a stay-at-home mum, we really need to spend wisely.

I often fight about money because my husband does not have a good management of money, he often out of our budget. I am sure if a man have a good management of money he will take a rational decision and just buy what he need in his life. You are lucky, has a good husband in management of money.

I am not married yet so but before when I was still living with my ex in Sydney I don't want to have a fight with him over money. I don't like fighting about money and that's the last thing on my list that will fight or argue about.

You have a good principle, where you do not put money being a problem in your relationship. Maybe If I have enough money for live, I think I also do not want to fight about money. Thank you on your response...

no we really don't fight much over finances its not my strong point to manage money so its something i leave to my other half. You just have to find the happy medium and I know what you mean but you have to have some money to spend on crap you don't need or you feel like all you do is work to pay bills. even if it is something small like $25 spending budget for the month on just stuff you want.

It's not a situation where you might be worried about money it doesn't do any good to argue about it just take things a little at a time.
