[quote=Anonymous]I'm DW. DH works way too much to also handle the budget so I agreed to COMPLETELY take it over. However, he hasn't quite grasped that yet and I am so freaking annoyed.

We get paid Friday. DH, however, makes side money through work (off duty) and gets paid for these hours in separate checks that are often times left in his work mail box. I have asked repeatedly that he BRING THE CHECKS home, so that I (or we if he's here and can take part in the discussion) can allocate the money accordingly. It never fails that instead of bringing the checks home that he goes to our checking account and deposits them.

This is a man who at bill pay time wonders where the hell money has been spent. We have a history of being spenders and not savers. Thus my request for him to bring extra money home first so that we can plan where is will go and he doesn't.

I can be a nag and do not want to be. Men, how do I explain respectfully to my husband that we need to quit depositing random money into checking account and instead plan? Honestly, when I tell him my ideas and he agrees but then goes against them, I get frustrated. HELP! [/quote]
