My Dh is the same, he grabs coffee out 2x a day. It drives me crazy because we have all the things he needs to make coffee at home and take it with him, yet he always "forgets" and then says it is only a few dollars, yet, it really adds up over a year! He also loves to have the "newest" sneakers-very annoying.

I am very blessed, When we took custody of my two granddaughters ( one and three) my husband told me to stay home "The girls need a mother" I was a store manager with a very nice pay and bonuses. He is a store manager with a nicer pay and bonuses, I am lucky I do not have to work and money is never been an issue...I am one of the very lucky ones, I never had to work, I wanted to..

If you tell your secrets to the wind... Don't be mad if it tell's the trees.

My DH is definitely guilty of ovrspending! We both work full-time, but still struggle bc our mortgage is so high living in the Boston area. He will stop at KFC or BK bc he feels shaky or faint. He also refuses to bring lunch or dinner with him to work bc he doesn't know what he'll be in the mood for. Luckily he doesn't drink or smoke. And when he goesto the store, by bill is much higher.

my dh is this way! he can go out for lunch daily and get what he needs or wants!!
I ask for money for a new bra and he goes balistic!! I get one maybe 1 time a year!
like now I need some things since well being prego does change the body!!
he is going nuts!! but he can go out and get clothes when ever he wants!! I have to ask for
money fo rme or the kids and he always makes us wait till we have money!! yea right!!
Also he gets mad at me when I take dd out for lunch maybe 1 time a month!!

YES YES YES! My dh spends WAY too much!!

I must admit though, in his defense, he has gotten MUCH better. Last year on Memoiral day weekend I was at work and when I looked at the bank acct from his day with the kids, he spent over $200! On nothing!! There were withdrawels, debits for REALLY stupid things, and then the few I would expect. That was NUTS! He hasn't beentoo bad since then, the whooping I gave him must still be fresh in his mind. LOL

At one point, I took away his cc and his debit card. I gave him cash and when it was gone, it was gone. I hid the checkbook so he couldn't go that route too. Yes I work, but thats not the point. WE work to support out family and if he is gonna be selfish and spend hard earned money on stupid things, then whats the point?? He has gotten better at this, once I showed him how to reap the rewards. I gave him a goal to work toward and its working. We are trying to get to Disney this year, and be debt free by next year. That won't happen with frivolous spending.

Back together!! Sept 28th Boston TDCenter!! Woohooooo!

This is completely us! I stay home because HE wanted me to. He claims I spend alot of money which I guess I do since I do the groceries and pay the bills but thats it. I rarely buy anything for myself or the boys yet he eats out everday and constantly buys new shoes and clothes oh and video games! I needed to buy some underwears for ds bc I am trying to potty train and dh is making me wait what? grrr! just go without chinese take out and take a bagged lunch (which i will happily prepare)!!! anyway any time something like this comes up he does say go get a real job and when i start the applications he changes his mind. its really annoying. i wont dare ask him if i could buy a new pair of jeans or something lol.

My DH thankfully doesn't overspend he sticks to what we need, infact sometimes he can be a "PennyPincher" he will give himself a small allowance and sticks to it and gives me the same. Seems like I always go thru mine for the simple fact that he is gone to work in the morning when the kids say that they need cash for something!
Anyways my answer is no he doesn't it would be on a very rare occassion that he would.

OMG! DH overspends bby quite a lot. I know he works hard and he deserves it and we're in a good position right now to not to have to worry about it, but this weekend, we had gone to the mall and split up. We were in Macy's and when I got done, I went to the men's section and he was just finished and making his way to the cashier, and he spent over $400.00 on clothes. Then he went on to tell me that he had spent over $500.00 at the other Macy's just earlier in the day, and I'm like what? And he's like I got a suit and some shirts and stuff because i've been wearing the same suits to the conferences. I'm like must be nice. I ended up walking out with one top and all I paid was $18.
