Does he micromanage your finances from inside?

[johnnyrayzaimee]

Does some of your visit consist of..save money baby???

Wow I love my man and I know we ALL feel the same way but does he try to micromanage your finances while he is locked up.....

ok here is the deal we are like ying & yang for real...I love to go go go and loves to save save save...he is neat freak and me not so much....well I got a special tattoo for him which he loved but then he was like baby you need to save money...don't blow it...ya know..and its ugh...kill joy but I know he loves me with all his heart but does he try to tell you how to spend your money or is that just a man thing......

[yaya'sbaby]

He tried it one time and I checked his ass and he aint never did it again!

[nikichik]

yeh mikey tries but thats about it TRIES. ill make a comment about how im soo broke or soemthing like that and then he will want to go into well you make this much and where did it all go blah blah blah thats when i have to remind him that i am raising our duaghter alone and taking care of un neccessary bills he left me with that i have to pay sometimes i think they just need a reality check. so i dont mind giving him one when its need. i always tell him dont talk to me aobut the money if your not contributing. like today he was like i dont like your new job its not all that they promised it to be ... i was like yeh and looked aorund then said cause your job here at this place sure gets the bills paid

[LostTime]

Yeah he use to tell me to save but now he doesn't tell me anything but make sure the vehicle is running good when he comes home and that's about it LOL
but I think they all think about that a little bit but he meaning my man also knows that with the economy right now that their really isn't any saving for anyone and he doesn't say thing to me but I am a spend spend spend person and yeah he's the killjoy LOL

[tia~n~bert]

Yeah my Baby does try to set my budget for me on the inside. But, his philosophy is well I can't contribute monitarily but i can help you figure out how to make your salary stretch as far as possible. I think a big thing is especially with my man he wants to be a part of every day life as possible even if he isn't physically here and that's ok with me. At least he is showing concern and he cares =)

[cowgirl1962]

Oh, no way. I make the money so he feels that I know how to manage it. Even when he gets home and goes back to work he will take over the bills and still not say anything to me.

[RAG4LIFE]

He tried it when he was in (moreso out of concerned)...now I'm the one telling him we need to save, go figure.

[abrister]

No he doesn't! I dare him to try! I am the one making it so it is really not his concern right now. He always has what he needs. he doesn't ask much cause he knows that is one thing that will make me bad in a split second. if he wanted to know how the money was being spent he should of stayed his butt out of trouble and he would of known!

[LeBeau]

Aw, hell, my husband doesn't even get by with that and he lives here at home and earns ALL the household money- He asks me about how I'm managing the money, I will happily present him with a fairly detailed account of where the money goes, but if he starts nagging or trying to tell me how to run our home, I'll offer to let him take over the worries, he can pay the bills, and give me an allowance for groceries, gas and personal spending (He gets an "allowance" and never has to look at the bills unless he wants to do so.) He shuts right up.

[trixie22288]

Yes he does and I am completely okay with that! I am a big money spender, and he makes sure I am keeping my priorities straight and getting all the bills paid. I wouldn't have it any other way, and it's going to stay that way even when he gets out.

[AmyLynn]

Mine did one time told me to turn off the cable cause we did not need it. While he had cable inside,then he told me to pick up more days at work. I all ready worked 6. Finally one time he was complaining about my money again so this time I did cut a couple of bills out his phone calls and money for store. We are not togethere anymore..

[MizJohnson]

I am the money manager of the house even when he is out, but he always tries to get just a liiiiil control... I hate it when he does that, but I try to be respectful and remind him of who he is talking to. I am a very, very frugal person. I save a lot of money, and I do not buy anything unless it is planned in my budget. I have been like that since we got together. He, on the other hand, will go against the budget minutes after we make it! He'll be like, "It was only $5", and I'm like, "Yeah, but you spent $5 yesterday, $5 the day before, and $5 the day before... It adds up!" ugh. The other day, he's like, "I just want to caution you to control your spending". Huh? I've been out here making this happen for 8 months now, and he's telling me to control my spending? Um... ok, honey, thanks for the advice.

gurl you better say it. We are MWI and i do my finances what I please. He do not turn down when spending on him. LOLmy baby is trained to say how was shopping today? Did ya go to walmart?

[BabygirlNGary]

LOL...AmyLynn. No he doesnt manage my finances or even try and he better not.

[frontlinelady]

I BELIEVE HE KNOWS I HAVE HIS BEST INTEREST AT HEART @ ALL TIMES SO HE NEVER QUESTIONS ME ABOUT ANYTHING THAT CONCERNS MONEY. HE GAVE ME A FULL POWER ATTORNEY BEFORE HE LEFT SO I KNOW HE TRUSTS ME TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

[gigi77]

While he was outside he really handled all the bills, so now he just asks me if I'm following the budget he made up for me and if I need any help with figuring out any changes that it might need. He's so sweet!

[pinayluv78]

No, my husband's never been that way... it's funny, cuz I've always been the one to hold the money... My husband would say that his co-workers would tease him cuz he was always broke... He'd take 20 from his weekly paycheck & hand the rest to me... =) It makes me smile when I think about it... I would tell him no, he can't get something, but when it came to me & I wanted something, I got it... =)

[MsAkbar]

No he could care less I manage my own money.
