She Wants To Be In Charge of the Money
(Category:
Goddamn Wedding
)
Her: I did something bad today.
Me:...What?
Her: I went shopping.
Me:...And?
Her: I spent $XXX.
Me (laughing):...What the hell did you buy for that much money?
Her: Two pairs of jeans and six pairs of shoes.
Me(laughing harder, because crying is not an option): What are you going to do; go barefoot on Sunday?
I laughed until I got in the shower and then I cried, so the water would hide my tears. Tears of hysterical laughter mind you, but tears nonetheless. She wants to take our seperate bank accounts and put them together in one account when we get married. I guess she thinks if we pool our resources we can really take advantage of the investment goldmine that is the Women's Accessories department at Dilliards.

Hey! How come Shank gets to post here and not me?
Shank's a pussy. I mean really.
I think he was here first, assmonkey.. er... Bill.
I have the wife handle all the bills, so if she fucks it up, it's on her. One checkbook, and she carries it. I don't touch checks unless I'm mailing them.
I don't use our debit card without calling her and getting permission and having her balance the account right then and there while I'm on the phone.
I keep a personal account for myself at a completely different bank with my own, one and only debit card. If I give it to her, we discuss the amount first (she has my PIN) and she hands the card back to me with the receipt.
It really is the only way.
My wife wanted to do the accounting for us, but damn she buys some useless shit. We're currently relying on my memory, online banking and the statements in the mail I never open.
My old lady pays all the bills, nadles all the money. Hell, she's got the time. I'm too busy scratching out our existance to get involved in the day-to-day.
Yes, I realize I could wake up destitute one day...her off with all the funds and the tennis instructor. But, hey, I'm a gambler like that.
I wish somebody would nadle my money. Sounds exciting!
Handles, damnit! Shoulda' been handles.
