re: "it was on sale"

It actually can be curbed. Cut off her access to any money you earn. Allow her to spend only the money she earns, after half of the bills are paid from what she earns.

This does come with problems though. It will get drier than the Sahara, she will get two credit cards you don't know about and grow the balances about $1K a month, and she will occasionally come home a little bruised when Tyrone got too excited.

The good thing is that she probably won't file for divorce for 6-8 months though.

Understand that she sees marriage as adding an income for the spending habits she wants to attain. She, as a shopper, has gone pro.

This part I don't mind. If I had to do the decorating the house would look like shite.

I'd have white walls, maybe a Jack Daniels mirror and pics of saltwater fishing trips. I definitely don't do interior design

This part is a sticky situation when you make almost double what she does. Have had that fight and I don't remember winning

I'll tell her she has x amount of dollars to spend a month on bs

When you visit her best friend's house always check for mail in your wife's name. They are called credit cards.

I like this. I'll tell her she has x amount of dollars to spend a month on bs. I think it'll mean a lot too as long as i stick to it as well. 

It'll be good for me since i like to buy toys anyway

His and hers mad money accounts is a must in my relationship. And a big arse safe that she doesn't have the combination to for my new guns

ETA - been married for 15 years and we almost never fight about money etc after we put in that system

You got a lot to learn baw

Tell her you all are going to go broke with all that damn money she thinks she's saving by sales.

Either that or come home with some awesome gun/ golf clubs or fishing gear that you all cannot afford and mention that it was on sale.

I am pretty easy going with spending, but it can get out of hand quickly. Have known some that ended up hiding that stuff from their spouse and ended up with massive CC debt snd having to file for bankruptcy.
