i stay at home with the kids but i find this increasingly difficult to deal with, my dh doesnt give over all his salary to the joint account - the one all the bills etc go out of and the one i use for shopping (food) etc, its all costed out so it runs out every month just in time for next deposit by him.
he keeps an amount for himself in his acct, which i know off as i have internet access to it and look after most finicial stuff, so its not hidden, but i just feel that i have to budget everything and then be accountable for stuff but meanwhile his stockpile is there
he says he needs something for himself.
do u think i could chnge his view

what i'd like , seeing as he gets my tax credits!, is an extra 500 goes in every motnh to let it build up in the account if it can! but notthis feeling of it running to nil every month,

hehe slug - DH has "beer money" too (thought he rarely goes out to the pub - and any booze we buy tends to come out of the grocery money LOL).
