[QUOTE="Djeta Thernadier, post: 1094793, member: 12043"] Eeek. This happened to me back in the day when EBAY was all shiny and new to me. I was too busy buying random, useless knick-nacks to put money away for my bills. Not good and I ended up with a lot of debt. I personally have very strong feelings against sharing a bank account with ANYONE (got burned real bad once), but if things are getting out of hand, you may want to give her the control over the finances for a while. I couldn't do that (I live with my boyfriend but we maintain seperate bank accounts and always will). So how I combat this problem (shopping online is a biggie for me, even still) is to make up a seperate bank account where you just put "fun money" and buy yourself a gaming item (or whatever) every few weeks or so. I can't give you advice about your wife being angry but I can say, if both of your paychecks are going into this account and you are spending her money on gaming stuff she could care less about, I can see why she's upset. (Last person I shared a bank account with literally blew thousands of my dollars on cds, dvds etc. and lied ot me about paying the bills... :mad: ) I read somewhere once that most relationships work better when people control their own money (at least one account) so maybe setting up a "fun money" account for yourself would work out best. That way you set the limits. Good luck Djeta [/QUOTE]
