Fighting about money...

I often joke with dh "We don't fight about money because we don't have any money to fight over!"

It turns out to be true. Twice in the past 6 months we've come into a little bit of money (not a lot) and we could not agree on where it should go.

We hardly ever argue about anything. Anyone else fight more about money when there is more money to fight over?

I find that that's all we do fight about. we feel we never have enough and we don't. when we do come in to money is when we don't fight. that's weird. money is what keeps us agreeing.

My dh and I just realized this as well. When we do not have money we fight a little bit. We got our taxes back a couple of weeks ago and it was a good amount. Well we have been fighting about what to do with it ever since! I agree that if you have too much sometimes it makes it worse, good point.

We've never had any...lol I'm pretty much in charge of the money here. If we ever get any, like at income tax time, I decide where it will go. A couple of times, I have been guilted into spending it on some STUPID band thing for dh, but that's not happening this year!

We don't really fight over money though. Dh doesn't really care about it at all. I don't think he has looked in our checkbook once since we have been married.

Doesn't matter if we have a little or a lot, we have never fought over money.

We dont fight about money but we get touchy with eachother about other things when we have money problems.

I told dh last night that i didnt want to talk about money anymore in front of the kids becasue I dont want them to feel like we are poor or that we dont have money because of them.

We arent poor but you know how kids can see things

Give it to charity if you have so much of it and don't know what to do with it!

Dh and I really don't fight over anything. There have been times he's spent money on something I didn't agree with but I buy things he wouldn't either. As long as the bills get paid dh is happy.

Oh, yes - argue about money. Wonderful for the marriage. The ex and I fought about it alot. He was a tight wad. #2 DH and I don't fight over it. I just think he spends on things he should not. I feel like it wastes the money and I try to hold on to it. I am not a high dollar woman, but I think he is sort of a high dollar man. HA! I have never heard that used about a man, but I just did.
