How much is the most you've spent in a week without consulting your partner first? How did your partner react?

How much could your partner spend (without discussing it first) before upsetting you?

Do you each take a weekly or monthly allowance to spend on yourselves?

Do you share checking/savings accounts or each have your own?

Wow, this is a tough one....

We each get a $100 a week, BUT that also goes for bread, milk, his lunch if he doesn't take it, gas, etc. So $100 each doesn't go far. It goes farther with me, because I don't go to town that often, so I save most of mine, sometimes..

We have joint checking and savings, but he also has his own checking so when he works on cars out of our garage once in awhile, the money doesn't go through our household account.

We discuss it sometimes...but he has a habit of spending more than me...so when the time comes that I want something....I get it, no asking. He's always spending it on 4-wheeler stuff, Scouts but it doesn't come from the household. If he's able to save from his allowance he gets it that way....

I work too and I will never ask for money...ever. Now if it's something really big...like $1000 or more, yes, we discuss it most of the time.
