I am naturally frugal and always check receipts etc to ensure I am not being overcharged etc. I am virtually a sahm but do have access to joint funds.
Dh rarely checks receipts. Frequently he is overcharged but lets it go as it's not worth the hassle for a couple of quid etc.
Last week a car drove into the back of him but didn't exchange details as it was only a number plate.
He spends far more money than I do on himself. £400 for a football season ticket for example and probably the same amount again on lego. I know
Whilst I was away at a work conference he spent £120 on a console for ds2 as ds1 had one and they were arguing. So basically did it for a quiet life without even consulting me.
Whereas when I wanted to join a gym at £40 per month which also included free swimming for our 3dc we suddenly couldn't afford it.
Aibu to think we could afford it if he was more careful.
I know some people on here will probably say you could afford more if you worked more. Well the cost of childcare would wipe out my earnings.
When I discuss ideas I have for my business all I get is negatively.
