My husband bought a new Harley. I think it's a ridiculous waste of money. I know he wouldn't let me spend that kind of money on something he didn't agree on, so what makes him think he can do it? (1:23)
I recently married the love of my life. The problem is he is employed at a home improvement store. I want him to have a career we can be proud of. How can I convince him to go back to school and make the most out of his life? (1:29)
My husband can't seem to deal with the fact that I make way more money than him. I know he wants to be the bread-winner for our family. How can I help him realize it doesn't matter who makes more money? (1:55)
Our financial affairs are a real mess! We are probably headed for bankruptcy. My husband and I both are really down about this but he doesn't want me to talk to anyone about it because he is so ashamed. It would be hard to admit it to friends and family but I think they would all be supportive. What's best for us? (1:41)
My wife has her Masters in Education. I thought she'd get a job after she got her Masters but now she's talking about her PhD. Is this fair of her to stay a perpetual student when I could use some help supporting our family? (4:33)
I hired a once a week housekeeper. My husband is from the old-school and does not see why I can't get the housework done besides working full-time. He makes me feel wasteful for spending the money. Is it alright that I don't do our own housework? (2:09)
My husband scrutinizes my receipts for how much I spend on toiletries and make-up. He does not understand that upkeep on a woman just costs more. I gave up getting my nails done but won't give up my favorite pricey shampoo. What is the best way to handle finances so neither of us feels like a child? (2:05)
My husband's parents have much more money than my parents. His parents gave us money to put down on a house. He keeps asking me what my parents are going to do for us now. I would never dream of asking them for money. How do I get my husband to be thankful for the gift his parents gave us and not hold it against my family? (1:41)
I have worked low-paying retail jobs since my husband and I married. He went to college and has a well-paying career that he loves. I want to quit my job and maybe go back to school myself. He will not allow me to quit because he likes the extra money to save or to spend on toys we don't need. Do I need his permission to quit my job? (1:56)
My parents are in a bit of financial difficulties. I've asked my husband if we can help them and he refuses. He only says that he doesn't want to get started doing that. Would it be ok if I just wrote them a check? He would find out about it eventually but maybe he won't be as mad as he thinks. (2:06)
My husband is not very motivated to find a good job. He goes from one low-paying job to the next. I don't want him to be a workaholic but I think he needs a little ambition. How do I get him motivated? (1:42)
My husband keeps track of all our money. He wants me to learn in case anything ever happens but I hate everything about money. I'm happy to take on more of his household chores as long as he leaves me out of the money. I think that's fair but he keeps bugging me about it. How do I get him to leave me out of the money? (1:43)
My husband makes me show him all my receipts from shopping, even grocery shopping. His mom brags about the money she stashed from her shopping and he thinks all women do that. I don't see the big deal even though I don't do it. I do resent having to show receipts though. Should I start losing them between the store and home? (2:12)
I am responsible for keeping the checkbook and paying the bills. It seems like we run in the hole every month. My husband wants to take it over but I am afraid to let him. I feel like he will make me account for every penny and will treat my like a child. How can we get off on the right foot if we do make the change? (1:41)
My wife grew up with always enough money for whatever she wanted. We never had much money but mom and dad were always home every night for us kids. My wife would like me to take on as much overtime as possible so we can get a little ahead as she calls it. It's much more important for me to be home with my babies. Which one of us is being unreasonable? (2:14)
Whenever I talk to my husband about finances especially, he thinks I am critiquing how much money he makes. I really am not, I am proud of how hard he works to support our family. I can't figure out how to talk to him about budgets etc without giving him the wrong impression. Any ideas? (2:31)
