[quote=Anonymous]My wife and I are very different when it comes to money.  My parents worked very hard and were very tough on me and my siblings.  My wife's parents worked hard also but they weren't hard on her or her siblings.  They were, to much a degree, spoiled.

Today, I work and my wife stays home with our baby.  I'm okay with this.  In fact I pushed her to stay at home instead of work because I make way more than enough money for the entire family.  But, often times I feel she takes for granted the money we have.  She doesn't appreciate how hard it is to make a lot of money.

This morning I woke up to an alert email from our joint bank account saying we had $1,500 left.  30 days ago the balance was over $16,000 (no, that's not a typo).  I was frustrated.  How did we burn through $15,000 in 30 days???  I told my wife what the balance was before I left for work and she didn't bat an eye...  While I understand she has never felt pressure or stress for money...it really annoys me when she just don't get it or care.

Sorry for the rant...just very upset over this and how hard it is to make as much as I do.[/quote]
