[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the budget is that tight, you need to work.  You and your DH need to work as a team.  Put ALL the money into the same pot and budget each person some walking around money, pin money or "me money- whatever you call it.  It can be very small if that is the budget.  You also need to agree on what that money covers.

+1  totally agree and I'm a SAHM.

That's not to say that OP's husband doesn't have some control issues or that money is mostly fine, but he wants to work more to make more.  No matter the scenario, agreeing to the one pot approach would put you on a level playing field.  If he doesn't want to spend his portion, that's fine.

I think it's unhealthy to have to ask and account for every last cent, unless it's really necessary.  (At our house, there was a time when it was really necessary and we were accountable to each other) And it's also not good for OP's husband to be the gatekeeper for every penny.  Resentment all around.
