[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is his household money you've been putting in an account, then it's a joint savings account. Sorry, honey.[/quote]

If it's her allowance that he has GIVEN her, and she is budget conscious enough to have saved it, then no I don't think she stole it.

I agree.  Lucy Ricardo budgeted the same way. [/quote]

Ok...but when does she have to financially contribute to the household.  DH has said he's out of money.  She has some.  They are married.  They bought the house together.  It's a partnership and it's her turn to step up.[/quote]

I definitely don't think OP "stole" money.  That's how my parents operated, and my mom would "save up" for things that way -- stuff that wasn't essential.  Or set it aside for a vacation fund or whatever.  No big deal and I think the word "allowance" is loaded these days.  BUT.  And it's a giant BUT.  It is seriously NOT OKAY for OP to hoard money when the household is struggling.  Unless her husband is a known gambler, alcoholic, whatever, which she has not suggested he is.  So they're both in the wrong.  He shouldn't have just routed the money without discussion, but by discussion, I mean having a conversation that goes like this:

DH:  We've had some surprise expenses this month, dear, I think we need to dip into your reserves.
DW:  Crap, that new roof really cost more than we expected.  Let's figure out a way to put the money back when we can -- you know I feel better when we have a solid cushion.

So both OP and her DH are behaving badly, but OP is the one whining about "stealing" and that's really gross.  Im a SAHM, but I agree if she is that distrustful or worried about $$, then she should figure out a way to bring in money.[/quote]
