No, my wife can squeeze a nickel until Jefferson begs for mercy.
When I was in Iraq the first time, making great money, I tried to get my wife to go buy something nice for herself since I wasn't going to be home for a while to do it myself. She had the carpets steam-cleaned.

Nope. My wife is awesome with money. I think she's that way because since I don't make much $$$, she knows that if she spends us into debt/trouble, she won't get to stay home and be a mom, she'll have to go back to work.

Today she surprises me with some new fancy nike's...I can't tell you how many pairs of unused shoes I have due to this woman. I tell her that I don't want them, and to send them back. Then she freaks out on me telling me that she was just trying to do something nice...so I told her that I already have 5 nice things still sitting in the closet unused. It just got worse from that point on...

...women, as a sex, are shrewd, resourceful, and acute; but the very fact that they are always concerned with imminent problems and that, in consequence, they are unaccustomed to dealing with the larger riddles of life, makes their mental attitude essentially petty. .... Women's constant thought is, not to lay down broad principles of right and wrong; not to place the whole world in harmony with some great scheme of justice; ...but to deceive, influence, sway and please men. Normally, their weakness makes masculine protection necessary to their existence and to the exercise of their overpowering maternal instinct, and so their whole effort is to obtain this protection in the easiest way possible. The net result is that feminine morality is a morality of opportunism and imminent expediency, and that the normal woman has no respect for, and scarcely a conception of abstract truth. Thus is proved a fact noted by Schopenhauer and many other observers: that a woman seldom manifests any true sense of justice or of honor.
H. L. Mencken wrote that in 1907 for his book, "The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche". |

Nope, separate accounts for the past 6 years which was established at the start.
We only share the kid's accounts so we can each deposit $$ and build their savings. which is easy with on-line banking. Nothing better than being in control of your own cash from a responsibility standpoint. Works great. |

mine will spend if she knows we have, so since I manage the money, I just tell her we don't have, which we don't. if it comes down to the choice of making investments or a new couch she's just gonna want to replace in a year, we damn sure don't have it...

My wife is every smart. She has an MBA and makes 4x-5x what I make. She handles billions of dollars a year in her job. She is HORRIBLE with our own money.
We have separate checking accounts and the savings account is in my name only. If she has $500 in her checking account she will spend 499.95 of it. I tell everyone the secret to our happiness is separate bank accounts

On the one hand, she buys me stuff that I frequently do not want or when it arrives does not fit me.
OTOH, she refuses to buy herself things, including things she actually needs. She's trying to figure out how to get out of buying a new computer chair since the wheel has come off of one leg. She's also refusing a new computer, despite the fact hers is a creaky POS that barely runs only because of my replacing components on a regular basis. She's getting these new items, because I'm tired of fixing her machine and continually having to keep putting the wheel back on her chair leg.

The thread title would be one of the main reasons why she is now the EX-wife.
I was trying to pay down bills, she was doing her damnedest to rack up bills. She had to go, before my sanity did. Divorce was final on Christmas Day, 1992. One of the best Christmas presents, EVER. Freedom as a gift never need be wrapped.
