How can you be so lacking in brain cells and responsibility that you can’t handle having your own money. Absolutely baffling that some grown men have the mental capacity of children and think it’s normal.

I've got a bank card and credit cards but if there's some big payment I'll just get her to sort it out. Delegation is a wonderful thing. If she’s good with money then why not delegate. I normally ask once a year how much we have in savings, it’s always higher than the last time I ask so jobs a good’un 54 minutes ago, Dazzle said: My wife has absolutely no idea how much money we have or how much any of her bills are etc. We get paid into the same bank then I give us both money to spend for the month, put money in a bills account, put some in a savings account and put some into a food and petrol account. She loves it that way as she will spend all of her money in the first 2 weeks but knows she has nothing to worry about. She is an absolute nightmare with money though and we would be forever skint if we didn't work it this way. Nothing wrong with the way you work it, the best with money takes the reins 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Mrs B uses the classic line (which presumably she thinks I am not wise to) "I got this for x, reduced from y, I definitely wouldnt have paid y for it....."Not sure what she is trying to convince me of.... Presumably that whatever she has bought is an absolute bargain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t like cooking, I don’t think you can beat the “dinners ready babes” shout, can you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t like cooking, I don’t think you can beat the “dinners ready babes” shout, can you. I don't mind cooking, but only if I've time. I used to hate coming in from work and then cooking, even if said cooking only consisited of throwing sausage rolls into the oven. Now that I'm retired I quite like cooking. There's something rather satisfying about making a chicken dinner of a Sunday consisting of chicken, carrots, broccoli, stuffing and roast and mash potatoes, for example.

Take the item that takes the longest to cook and subtract the cooking time of everything else to make a timetable for cooking the other ingredients. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverWolfe Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 My mates find it really strange that me and the wife share our money. I've never once considered money to be mine or hers and especially hate the idea of owing each other money. My mates all have joint accounts that both contribute into for the bills then keep whatever they have left over for themselves and often hear them say so and so owes me £500 for this or that. Mental behaviour imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
