Thank goodness I dont have to I pay the bills and my husband just says dont bankrupt us. I find it usually is the men who feel their paycheck is there's and women have to ask for things. I feel sorry for them. Everyone should have their own checking accounts with husband's name on it -just in case- but have certain amts of cash you can spend without having to explain. I only hide his presents until I can give them to him. -- J.
