[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I try to stay on a pretty good budget.  She has control of some budget categories and I others.  However, we also have a personal budget category and we can buy whatever we want out of that.  It really saves us from having any fights about money.  We can save up and buy whatever we want, no matter how frivolous it may seem to the other. I am happy when she buys something she wants.

The only thing that gives me pause is that you made it seem like your husband feels it is his money.  That could end up being a problem.  I have been the bread winner for 16 of our 17 years of marriage.  My wife does not want to go back to work when the kids are raised.  I want to retire when the kids are raised, so she is very sensitive to buying things that will delay my retirement.  We work together and that is the key.  I want her to stay home because that is what she wants and I want to retire and she wants to help me get there. [/quote]

Hope your kids have more ambition than your wife.[/quote]
