this was a vent of mine and it has turned into a financial advice post :)

edited July 2012 in Relationships
The last 3 months we have been behind on bills. I just don't understand why we are. We have no extra bills that need to be paid.

So today he comes home in a cranky ass mood. He knocked over his beer and it fell in a place that doesnt get cleaned as much as everything else. So he's cleaning his mess and just complaining that the house is discussing. I pop off and say he can say anything cuz he does not clean at all. His dumbass says he shouldnt have to clean cuz he bust his ass at work. I ignored it. Later i ask for his bank card so i can pay off the rest off the electric. Which was my money from my check that he deposited yesterday. After i tell him how much i paid he gets mad at me..


I just dnt understand why he is so mad. Yes he works his ass off but if you are working ur ss off then why arnt our bills paid?

I work aswell but not even close to the hours he does and with out $500 eletric bill i paid it all but $100 he paid it that much off it.

I guess my whole thing is if you dont want to f-ing clean then make sure our bills our paid.

Sorry for this long vent i just have nobody to b***h to.

All my problems have been fixed. So just ignore my vent but i want to keep this going for anybody needing advice on finances.

@YNVTish said she could give awesome advice on this subject :)

  • Do you not get bank statements? if not I'd be checking the account online
  • It is his account. :/ so i cant. I just don't get it. Im a bartender and a beer joint i only get paid $3.50 an hour pluse tips i dnt make shit lol but i mangaed to get $400 in less then a week to pay off our eleric bill. My check was only $182. I swear the only reason i will drop this and feel bad is if he is paying on a ring for me lol and he should know better then to tell me he shouldnt have to clean. Wtf is that bullshit. I work to not as much but i do and i clean make diner and take care of our baby. Oh im so mad idk what to do. We never fight and im never this mad at him :( @heyitsme
  • Yeah I don't think so.. He should be able to let you sEe his banks statemates and u should be able to know how much he gets paid. Ask him and tell him why do u get mad u shouldn't be mad and it shouldn't be a problem if he has nothing to had
  • I understand. Bd and I do not have access to eachothers accounts and we will keep it that way even when married. It seems strange to some, but I would not allow him to invade the privacy of my accounts. Maybe when married, but not until then and I.have nothing to hide financially.

    Sorry bd is being such a butt head!
  • My hubby always asks me how do w not have money and I show him all the bills and he still doesn't get it.
  • i know wat u mean! when i was on maternity leave with my son my pay dropped loads and my bf would pay the bills and have about £700 left out of hia wages to last him the month! i would have £500 and he would expect me to do all the shoppin buy everythin for the baby and stuff and then come askin me for money at the end of the month when he ran out! hes gonna have a shock when there are five of us relyin on his money and not just the two of us and one baby!
  • I am the same lol. My wife takes care of bills etc because I'm a shocker with money lol. Sad part is when she was on maternity leave we were better off financially than now she is back at work. Granted my pay rise with new position was nice but all goes into the mortgage for the house now. Am trying to lower all the debts in case things don't work out down the track health wise for me.

    I get an allowance from her and I'm 30 lol but I like that because then I can't get I. Trouble.
  • We both handle the money. I pay car insurance, cell bill, electric, and groceries. He gets rent, car payment and gas. It works better bc then he has to deal with the people calling if its late. I take care of my stuff he can't say anything. I make more than him, well I did until laid off but still on unemployment I only am making a few dollars less a,week than him so I have a little more control bc after he pays his part there isn't too much left. He works hard tho so I don't care if he occasionally buys himself something. Bc he never goes out, he is a homebody...and only thing he really buys himself is a case of beer on the weekend. But like I said if you give him bills he is in charge of it may help bc they will be calling and he will see how annoying it is, maybe he'll get it then? It worked for us, its not for everyone but as a couple both people need to be involved in bills bc its too much stress for one person.
  • my hubby gets an allowance too @dadof2n1togo Otherwise he burns the card up swipin it for EVERYTHING! lol. And if he was in control, half our bills would get forgotten about.
  • We have a joint account: but I control every cent. Lol he sucks with money and knows. He makes it, I pay bills and keep the house in decent running order. However, he rarely complains, so it makes me more inclined to be nice. Lol

    You need your own account girl that's just my opinion just so you know that financially your gonna be ok without him
  • We have separate accounts but its considered our money. I work but make about half of what he does so he pays most of the bills. The only thing I pay for is groceries, gas, and cable bill. He pays everything else..rent, electric, gas, car payments and all of his credit cards. I would be asking to see it esp since he doesn't seem to know how much he actually has to pay the bills. Sorry he is being such a butt!
  • I dnt Wrk but get Unemployment and well hubby works he gives me he's check every Friday. We put r money togather I pay all the bills with it and the rest we just blow it which we have a problem on saving but yea I dnt think ur man should complain but every body's different
  • edited July 2012
    @dadof2n1togo I want to do that allowence with my hubby also since he always just gives me he's check
  • We had a fight and i called him out on things he apologized for bitching me out about the house being messy. I dnt care where the money is going as long as our bills are paid and we have food on the table. And as of now we are completely caught up abd our fridge is full and our daughter is happy and healthy.
  • @Roxy it takes some getting used to and I used to cop shit from guys at work but I like it because I am shocking with money lol. Ie last food shopping I did solo and spent 3x as much oops.
  • Lol we have join account but mostly BC he realized good I am with money and knows that it is going to better places when I am paying attention and letting him know how much we have and for what. I don't know why he is upset with you because after all you were just bring responsible and staying on top of the bills most people would be thankful they don't have to worry about it lol
  • I love this post...

    For those that know me.. I'm going to school right now for my Masters, CPS license and financial consultant certificate and I'm a stay at home mom while my fiance works. I also give a class once a week out of my home to individuals like you and mr that are struggling with paying throttle bills. The classes are for singles and I also have one on couples.

    Finances is the #1 breakup of relationships. It's also the #1 reason why couples fight.

    I show people how to recognize your spending habits, track where your money goes, cut your expenses/monthly bills in half and start a savings.

    All monies should go in a Joint account. It shouldn't.matter if Jane makes $3/hour while Dick makes $20 .... It's a money buck for.both of your lives... That you share.

    Just like the household chores... You should both clean. It may not be as equally divided but no one should be pointing fingers. He's just as grown and he can clean up as well.

    If anyone needs help with their finances please let me know. My services are free and I can also help you lower your household expenses or find alternative companies that can offer you better rates. I'm also a Lic marketing specialist for most of the companies you have services through so I can provide cheaper rates personally.. even for electricity and gas for some states.. not California yet.

    Let me know if you need help.
