Would you do this deal...

Why not pick a different vehicle, somewhere in between the fusion and the new exploder?

Still give her the cash and still take it out on that ass.

I'm lucky to get $50 on my birthday lol. In our household I pay the mortgage, car insurance, and buy the food. She pays for everything else. If anything comes up out of the blue I always pay for it.

Sounds like her money is her money and your money is her money.

I'm with poopnut, I can't see myself marrying someone that I don't trust 100%. I could see having separate "fun money" accounts that have been budgeted out, and and have no limitations by the other spouse. The bills have to be paid though, savings should grow, and big purchases should be a joint decision.

I'll agree with this, I guess. Like I said, I'm not married and my opinion doesn't mean shit.

If you get money from your wife on your birthday, that's fucked up. I'm gonna use my own parents as my reference, but if either of them want something, but never buy it, it's the other that gets it for them for their birthday or christmas...within reason of course.

I don't know how old you are FreightTrain, but you seem to have all of your shit together, and if what y'all do works, then fuck it. Do what you gotta do to make her happy as long as you're happy, too.

Then post her tits

Tell her happy birthday, give her the money, and take it out on her ass that night.

Dude, it's your wife...help her out. Especially if you are gonna have kids soon.

Summing it up, right here. Nothing like going in on it with your wife for the sake of preparing for an extension of your family. Don't limit your future plans on who is paying for what.

that is right and the Man has to act like the Man

I pay just about every damn bill in our house besides Electric, Water and internet. I paid off her truck, I pay for all the 'oh shit bills, I pay mortgage, I pay yard bills, etc. etc.

Cough up the extra coin up front and call it her next holiday gift. Then use it anytime she starts slacking on the samiches and blow jobs.

Mmmm... sammiches and blow jobs.

Sounds more like roommates than a married couple...

You need a better union contract...

[jdgregory84]

GT Dan and Father Denny's avatars are too similar. One of them needs to chance it. Going by the rules of seniority...it should be GT Dan.

I just don't understand how married couples still split bills and finances...

I've had a joint account with my wife since the 90's... Bills get paid out of that, regardless of who made what.

you start the trend from the get-go and don't give up!

If I didn't have it set up like that, I (we) wouldn't have any money LOL

[mikeb]

If ya'll are gonna start a family soon - now is the time to learn how to budget. You are on the cheap side of things right now, and it just gets more expensive with kids.

I'd sit down and have a long talk about future plans and what each of you will want financially. Sure, you can have the expensive cars and such, but that will mean scaling back in other areas (housing, eating out, etc) because there is only so much money to go around. You also need to remember to set some aside for savings and retirement too.

Make sure that you are not setting yourself up for years of being in debt and having no money.

My grandfather attributed the success of his 60 yr marriage to having separate checking accounts. They fought about their fair share of crap, but never fought over money.

I call divorce within the next 5 years.
