You just said you give her a 'budget' and then she 'bugs you for money'
I just thought they were suprising things to say, we have the view that's what mine is Toms and what's Tom is mine and everything is joint and both of us can spend how we want on what we want.

Uh, ya, generally true for us too... but you don't spend so much that you can't make your bills, pay for trips, or put something in the bank, right? You set some limits on your spending, right? Concretely or intuitively?Barbie said:You just said you give her a 'budget' and then she 'bugs you for money'

Does it make sense?
I spose it helps that I have quite cheap tastes
But me and Tom have so few outgoings that most of the money we have is ours to just piss up the wall however we want Barbie said:silvia said:Barbie said:I spose it helps that I have quite cheap tastes

Is that lost in translation Sil
Piss up the wall = waste it as we see fit

I'd love to have the kind of money where I can be a shop-a-holic! Normally once I've paid off my car loan/credit card/rent etc there's barely enough left to buy a pair of earrings let alone a pair of shoes 
I do have the occasional blow-out though on my credit card, when I'll just think "funk it" and just buy myself a nice new outfit.
Jon is SOOOOO sensible with money though, sometimes I feel he's like my dad, telling me off about my debts
Whenever I do make any new purchases I always hide the bags because I know Jon will moan at me for buying clothes

Did you have visions of me and Tom pissing up the wall in our flat
I didn't want to picture it in my mind before making sure that was the idea

I should probably be more explicit here so that everyone doesn't think I lock the missus in a closet and only let her out of the house once a week with a fiver in her pocketsandi said:
I do budgets. I like budgets. I like to budget how much we (together) spend each month on going out and eating out, how much on regular expenses (rent, groceries, cell phone), how much we save (for future trips, rainy day etc.). Sometimes budgets work, sometimes they don't. Sometime you buy extra stuff. That's all I meant earlier.
For people who don't think up concrete budgets, you probably have a mental one that limits your spending. If not, you'd be broke.

Oh that was you pissing up the boulavard wall was it!
