[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse makes over $250k salary, we've paid off all our debts, and will only put $3500 a month in our shared account to pay for all our groceries, utilities, car insurance, car maintenance, kids camps and activities, medical bills, clothing, birthday gifts, books, toys, home furnishings, school supplies, babysitter fees, etc. And complains whenever I ask to replenish the account, after making a big purchase, like booking a family vacation or paying for kids camp fees.  I try to keep our grocery bill down as best as I can and try to get free or cheap second hand clothing to keep costs down, but it is getting harder and harder and I'm getting more and more resentful.

The thing is, there are weekly Amazon deliveries coming to my spouse, and I never say a word.  But they are definitely for unnecessary frivolous fun things or hobbies, while I am spending on things like frying pans and dishwashing detergent.[/quote]

How much is your monthly take home after taxes? 250k would most likely be around $6,500 a month with a bump when you max out on ss. How much more do you think you need? $5k? Go to have a sit down. [/quote]
