Mine doesn't complain too often. With all the DVD's and computer stuff he buys, he knows better!

Amen to that. Having two kids out of college is like getting a huge pay raise.

My husband is always going with me to quilt shops in Arizona and across the country clear to Oklahoma, When he sees a quilt on the wall he wants one,Needless to say we have material for several quilts and wallhangers waiting to be made, been married for 5 year s to this one he sure is a keeper, My former husband of 53 years never went to a shop and never cared about a quilt show, he died of cancer, but God gave me a real jewel this time , He just bought me the new 830 Bernina at our recent quilt show, :D :thumbup:

Hubby and I each have our own savings accounts that money is deposited into bi monthly. Of course he gets more than I do...or so he thinks. lol
He never questions how much I spend. The rule always has been....as long as there is food on the table, kids are clean and fed, roof over our heads and no creditors calling, life is good.
We are now in the part of our life where we can get the extra money set aside for ourselves and for retirement. It took a while, won't tell you how many years, but neither of us really "want" for anything.
As long as we are open to discussing finances, all is good.

Not a word from him. That way I will not say anything about his (expensive!!) model train collecting. :)

My husband just thinks I am a little crazy. He got tired of my quilting stash everywhere he bought me a building. lol
It also took a long time to get him here. but He also knows his complaining falls on deaf ears. I pay no mind to that stuff,as long as the bills are paid who cares?

My DH says I collect fabric, guess he's right. I do have a bit of a stash, but not as much as I want. He laughs at me when he goes in my sewing room & looks around. He likes the things I make. Anyways he wouldn't want me to to point out how much money he spends.
