I am married, and I don't consult my wife on any decision relating to my
money, my investing, my spending, my computers, etc. Nor does she ask for
my permission - or even my advice - on how to spend or invest her money (she
makes a lot).

When I say I don't consult with her I mean I don't solicit her advice for
some things. I respect her privacy and her right to make her own decisions,
and she respects mine. It may sound like "separate lives" to you, but I
wouldn't have it any other way.

Same here. My wife and I don't *need* to consult each other on
decisions. We sometimes do, but that doesn't mean I have to call her to
make sure it's "OK" if I buy that monitor I want, etc. And visa versa.
So I hear ya...

Well, in our case we spend a lot of time together and talk, so I wouldn't
NEED to call her about a new monitor either. She would already know it was
broken or I was thinking about a new one...
But it would not be good form to go anywhere unusual without checking what
she had planned for that day, or vice versa. And I wouldn't go buy a new TV
for the lounge without having a chat about it... But then we would have
already been having a chat about it...
So... I would certainly check with her before going to play golf. Then she
would insist I go to the doctor for wanting to do such a stupid mindless
thing like play golf. ;)

What makes you think even for one minute that anyone want to hear about
your "being married" fantasies? For a start its almost certainly lies, and
even if true what makes you think anyone gives a shit that you are pussy

People that call golf stupid are usually broke and envious. Or they're too
uncoordinated to swing a golf club. Or just uninformed. Maybe you're all
4?
It's a nearly perfect game: played in beautiful outdoor scenery, very
challenging, decent form of exercise, can play and improve most of your
life, can make friends and business deals on the course, etc.
Best of all is the point when you've played enough to feel you have some
control over the ball, and are confident hitting a variety of shots: bump
and runs off the green, pitches, 100 yard wedge, hitting a fade or draw with
your driver. It usually takes years to achieve a competent, consistent golf
game.
Personally, I've played about 250 rounds over the last 8 years. Shot one
round of 80, another 5 or 10 rounds below 90, most of my scores have been in
the mid-to-high 90s. My avg tee shot is 230-240 yards.
It's just an awesome game overall. The only drawback is the cost and the
time. Good equipment costs several hundred dollars, balls cost about $1
each new (and they're easy to lose) and a single round on a decent course is
around $35 and up, and takes 5-6 hours between driving there and back.

I prefer dog sports, and people think that is mad as well. Challenging,
quite a lot of exercise, lots of outdoor scenery especially with tracking,
lots of travel to interesting places, many people to meet, good friends,
social activity, etc.
Its a nice activity, and you get to do it with man's best friend.

Sounds like a nice cheap sport compared to dogs. Even an ordinary tested dog
will run $1000 now, tho you might get a range from $500 -$1500. Vet bills
run well into the $100's per year. Breeding a litter costs $1000 or more,
some of which you might recoup. The dogs here eat about $500 per month.
Then there are leads, crates, harnesses, training, equipment, 1000's of km
in travel...
Time, well, yes. An ordinary agility/obedience trial might run 8 hours per
day for two days. A tracking trial is more like a full 3 day weekend. And
then there are the hours, or occasionally days, traveling...

Geez, it wasn't a contest. Sounds like you need to play some golf to
relieve the stress of your dog activities.
note: my friends are both sleeping at my feet right now - the little one is

It is a stress relief. As for contest, you were the one suggesting people
were too cheap to play golf. I was simply pointing out that other fun
activities can cost money... The dig at golf was just a troll anyway.
I don't play golf as I find it flat boring. Some people like football. Hell,
some people play lawn bowls and cricket... Each to their own...

Even better is when you realise that you don't need to mess about with
all that hitting balls with a stick. Wasn't it Mark Twain who said

Just to drag this a bit closer to on topic, I did some work a few years
ago for a company that provides the fertilisers used on the greens for
the larger golf courses in England and Scotland. If you ever wonder why
a round of golf is so expensive, it's so that the greenkeeper can afford
to buy the fertiliser he needs.
That is seriously expensive stuff, each course has their own particular
blend and the major courses have different blends for different times of
year. Each blend is a mix of upwards of a dozen different ingredients
measured and mixed individualy. they even clean down the machines
between blends so that ingredients from one don't contaminate the next.

It's not so much the threat of divorce, as making your every moment at
home a living hell.
My wife used to dole out my weekly allowance, $20, and then quiz me
about where I spent it, as she didn't expect me to buy snacks and such.
She's a lot more tolerant now, and it took years of resistance. I can
buy a $120 UPS when I need to.

ffs, quit bleating about your wife controlling your every move. It's
pathetic. You're whipped, and from various comments you've made, nearly
broke. I'm neither.
Sometime in the next few months I'm going to buy outright a new auto (or
maybe a small SUV like the Mazda CX-7), and I won't even tell her which day
I'm going to buy it, or which model, or how much I'll be spending. She'll
come home and it will just be there in the garage.
And who said anything about blowing money willy-nilly? Of course I don't do
that. But even if I did blow it, say on gambling or drugs, it's my money -
not hers - and I'll do what I want with it. She has plenty of her own - she
doesn't feel the need to control mine like your master obviously does.

You have got to be kidding, Linonut. You're the fourth totally whipped

You need to shut her down real quick on that front. Unless you're both on
the edge of destitution, your spending is your business. In my opinion.

Felcher is obscure enough that they used the name "Felcher & Sons" as
the name of a fictitious company in a Super Bowl ad, and had a character
in that ad named something like "Ron Felcher", and there was basically
no notice in the media that they'd slipped a very bad word in.
Also, the piano Big Gay Al plays in the South Park movie (and I think in
some regular episodes of the series) is a "Felchers & Son".

Your perspective on sharing is odd, to me.
We've made a life together, and the initial control has toned down a
lot.
My wife can drive me nuts sometimes, but she's a good woman, a sharp
investor, and, thanks to her in large part, we'll have a secure
retirement.

I've used my real name on usenet and other forums for decades, and my phone
number is easily accessible. Even my address. I've never had any trouble
with that at all. I've never even received a phone call. But then this is
because most trolls are insecure and tend to hide behind their nyms. They
wouldn't have the balls to ring anyone directly, and even if they did they
would have a nervous giggle and hang up. Most are just kids anyway.

I let her handle most of the money. Saves me a job. It doesn't mean I don't
have access to the accounts, but it makes life easier having one person in
charge of the bills. Technically she does have her own account and I have
mine, but we have access to each other. In any case the resources are
pooled.

What we spend is usually a combined effort. We tend to do most things
together. Heck we even shop for groceries together. We have a discussions
even about what we get there as it does have to fit some sort of budget.
Due to our rural situation, a grocery run can cost $800 at times, so some
care and thought is needed.
We don't have a huge amount of money to play with, but then making lots of
money isn't a primary goal.

Some of us just don't live separate lives like you do, that's all. You can
choose to look at it as her controlling my spending, on me controlling
hers. On just that it's a team effort.

I'll admit I didn't know what either fleching or snowballing meant but I
have heard the word felcher on TV.
The 70's sitcom 'All In The Family'.
Archie Bunker mangles the Reverend FLETCHER's name and often calls him
the Reverend FELCHER to which Edith corrects him and he says 'whatever'.
Of course in these days some words and phrases have taken on an entirely
new meaning.

Heyyyyy. Scroogle's a fine family name.

Spend too much and you'll find out the hard way.
I've seen this problem all too often. I know of one guy that divorced
his wife because she couldn't control her spending. Getting over
$50,000 in credit card debt while he's retired isn't a good position to
get into.
Maverick
It's the budget that counts. Plus, having some savings in case of great
need is a must these days.
Spending it away frivously can make your partner pretty nervous. Having
a medical emergency and no savings can lead to nightmares, and usually
the most common bankruptcy problem.
Maverick
Nah... you are definitely not married. Most women today won't tolerate
that kind of abuse.
Maverick
Same here. Life is easier because of it.

Fine if you have a mountain of money between you. But when it is gone,
watch the change come on when she sees things differently. You'll
either make changes or part company.

What abuse are you talking about?
You're a freakin' retired old fossil. You don't know anything about
"today's" women.
My guess is your wife literally tells you when to get up, what to wear, what
to eat, when to go to bed, what to watch on TV, how fast you can drive, what
you can or can't buy...
Sounds to me like your spirit is broken, and you're resigned to your wife
controlling your entire life. Why?
DFS
Now you let your master call you "bitch"?
Grow up and get a pair. I guess you never were head of your household, but
you could at least act like a man. You are a man, aren't you?

She isn't, huh? It wasn't very long ago that you made statements on cola to
the effect "I'll have to get permission from my wife to buy a new computer".
That's just plain sick.
And I bet anything you told her you were going to be surfing the Internet
before you logged on.

If you have to think about a budget when you're considering whether to spend
$2,000-$3,000 on a new computer - and you've also made comments to that
effect - you are nearly broke. At least in my book.

There's no mountains of money, but it's sufficient that we don't consult
each other before spending on our respective wants.
Tim Fairchild
What's the divorce rate like in the US these days? It certainly is a
changing world and a lot of couples just live their separate lives and
don't really stick together for any great length of time.
But there are still a few out there who actually do want to spend time (and
everything) together :)
Tim Fairchild
And I should add that we wanted a family. And not the sort where both
parents have a career and the children are raised by daycare and other
people and end up being some strangers that happen to be related. So rather
than living in a situation where all time is spent making lots of money, we
chose to live on a lower scale and enjoy the time with the kids when they
were younger. It's a period of 25 years that goes very quickly, so better
not to waste it.
So my wife chose to stay home with the kids, and I get to spend a lot of
time with them as well. You can't buy that for any money...

Oh, I'm a man, but obviously you are just a bitch, eh??

Yeah, I've seen basement masturbators like you get married, which I

You don't know anything about todays women, boy. You just wished you
could get to know them.
If you even tried to abuse todays modern woman, she'd kick your little
nuts off.
Then she'd go and find a real man.

It is pretty high. The reason is people like dfs still acting like an

I knew lots of crude, rude, dudes that treated their wives miserably.
Sooner or later divorce ensues. When there is domestic violence
involved, then divorce is usually inevitable.
My daughter is a domestic violence advocate, so she should know.
