Default Re: Wife offers deal

Here is how I do it.
My wife has a bank acount and I have one. I let her pay 30% of the bills and I pay the rest. The rest of the money she has left over is hers to spend. When we want to make a big purchase such as a vacation we just chip in our money and buy it. I invest some money and have her as a joint owner on these acconts. We have each other as joint account members on our individual accounts in case of emergency.
When I want to play poker I take money and play poker and if I have a big win I buy my wife something nice. I like to keep it simple. It is unbelievable that the poster would let his wife dictate like this to him when he is the main supporter of the household. The problem is now he allowed this to happen he needs to change it and she will be pissed off. So let her be pissed and if you end up divorced just make sure you don't let it happen again with the next one
