Is spending money just hardcoded in women's DNA with no hope?

No matter how clear I make it to the wife that we need to save money for a specific project, which we both agreed was the priority, and that we're specifically not going to spend money on anything that's not related to food, bills, gas, etc. anything needed to survive... we both completely agree to this structure beforehand.
Yet every single day I see her come home with crap we don't need, but there's always a "reason" (i.e. excuse) it just had to be bought. It was on clearance, it was something that one of the kids could use for a birthday that's 10 months away, whatever the case is.
I'm legit starting to consider taking all her credit cards and debit cards away and go-old school with giving her a weekly allowance like back in the golden days.

Do this and report back next month

Yep. Give up. It can't be rationalized away. Just keep putting it in the bank.

Weird because it’s the opposite in my house. I think it’s who likes instant gratification the most, or has the least amount of discipline.

I guarantee she will use the "aspirin" method of birth control, that is hold an aspirin between her knees for 30 days

We’re not all the same. I’m not sure why y’all think all women are alike. I hate shopping but love saving money.

My wife is fairly low maintenance and not very materialistic. She's an absolute sucker if one of the kids says they need something though.

No.
My wife is from a family with major means & she is cheap as shite.
Maybe your wife isn't clear what money is?

Yes. If cavewomen were happy with caves we would still be living in them.

You need a referral for a good divorce attorney?

I’m with you brother. We saved more money as percentage of earnings when we were beginning careers. Now only money I can save is the stuff she doesn’t see. The rest is poof. It’s a problem.

Shoes, purses, jewelry will be bought regardless of if they really need it. I gave up about 25 years ago, but I still jokingly complain about it every once in a while.
Married almost 33 years now. I'm not really complaining.

I have a savings account (no one knows about) and I put a percentage of my check and the fiancées check (direct deposit) in it each pay day.
I also have a checking account She knows about and that’s what I use to pay the mortgage, gas, water, internet, and cell phone.
I also have a checking account I opened when I was married that only I know about and I have a certain % of my check deposited into it each payday. I pay my truck note and insurance out of this account and use it for vacation.
I also direct deposit about $150 a paycheck into my PayPal
You can have an account that you save $$$$ in each payday and not let anyone know it’s resistance.
FYI I have all my banking info mailed to my parents house so I guess they know about my accounts.
