Spending money

[Willow]

How much is the most you've spent in a week without consulting your partner first? How did your partner react? I think I had spent around $200 before, but he didn't care because it was extra money left over from financial aid and I used it to buy up things we needed, like diapers and wipes and some other consumables and some needed clothing items for the kids.

How much could your partner spend (without discussing it first) before upsetting you? I don't worry about what he spends for the most part because he isn't a big spender and wouldn't buy something we couldn't afford.

Do you each take a weekly or monthly allowance to spend on yourselves?
No allowances. We pay bills first and then if we want something or if we splurge we usually discuss what the splurge will be and get it together.

Do you share checking/savings accounts or each have your own?
Yes we share a checking. There is no my money or his money here. It is ours.
