[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife stays at home and has full access to all the money. All of my income (750k-1mil) goes into two separate joint accounts. 
She doesn’t need to check in with me or ask to spend anything.  I don’t even look at the accounts.

If I acted like your husband does, I would feel like a controlling ahole.  And that is not the type of marriage I want.

I feel bad for OP that they have this weird power dynamic going on. I am very pro making all accounts joint or at least accessible to both parties. It doesn’t matter if one parent is SAH.

We have $200k HHI and spend at least $5k month on household expenses outside of mortgage, retirement, etc. I manage most of the day to day and couldn’t do it on $3.5K![/quote]

If I had $4k a month, I wouldn’t keep overdrawing the account and have to keep asking for more money. If I had $4500-5k that would give us a bit more breathing room so I wouldn’t have to always pinch pennies to make things work.[/quote]
