money issues

I think, you guys should sit down and talk about that. If he makes 10 times the money, but can afford to share less. Does all of his money go to bills, or are there other things. I think, you should sit down one day, with a spreadsheet. And make a budget. Knowing where your money is coming from and going to is a great way to stop the debt from building up. Cheers.

I do not think you should hand him all your money. That is the trouble with us women is that we are made to feel so guilty about staying home even when it is our husbands who insist on it and at the same time, complain that they are in the next tax bracket, that we give them money out of guilt. The only way to work out of the home is if both of you make about the same amount. My husband did not want to work unless I made almost as much as he. Then in the next breath he wanted us to use our joint bank account so that he could have access to my money and I remembered that even when I had the Family Allowance, he was alwys borrowing even though he made more then I did. I had to invest my money in bonds and in retirement fund so he could not touch it. If your husband is of the type, I would suggest you put some of your money away so there will be a penalty if you withdraw it before the due date. I also have to know if he made you feel guilty if you did not hand him the money or whether it was how you were raised. If it is the latter, what you have to do is decide what you both need to cut out and also if you do not, other ways to save money. A good way is to decide what utilities or things you spend your money. For instance, you might decide to pay the phone bill and also use your money for groceries.

i stayed home when our daughters were little but i get too bored staying at home, so i work a few days a week as our daughters are older. i only work 3 days a week for 4 hours a day which is perfect because i can still get stuff done around the house, plus i sell stuff on ebay and do crafts to sell.

hi i am working full time n my husbsnd is working as well, but by the 3rd of each month all the mony are gone to pay our house n other debts, so at night i am on the net making some extra cash ..

Hi! I would keep some of the money that i make. Even though you do not work outside of the home, it does not mean that you do not work. At this point in time, the economy isso bad that people that have had jobs for years outside of the home should be worried. Just keep up the good work that you are doing, but start keeping some of your money for yourself, you deserve it.

You should sit down with yoru husband, i can see where he is coming from because even if you give him 100.00 and he gives you 10 - 20 dollars your technically giving him 80 - 90 and i bet that your bill are substancially more then that which means he is paying a majority of the bills. My suggestion is to get a job outside the house during the same hours he works then its not affectingthe time you spend together.
