What Would You Do If Your Spouse Spent $500 on Fireworks?

ha ha I would put one in a very specific place on/into his body and watch it spark only kidding of course .. but that was the first thought that came to mind! Sounds like you are certainly going to have a bang of a time this 4 of July Lotting to you!

OMG can you say Divorce. LOL. I would be rather angry and would make him eat bread and water for a month. Thats crazy. Oh by the way what time does the fire work show start and can I get directions. At least your gonna have the best firework display in the neighborhood lol. Enjoy and hold some satisfaction that you can make him clean up the mess later lol.

Hi LadyM, I would most probably build a rocket with all these fireworks and tie him to it. Then set it on fire, and send him to the moon. If my husband does this, he must be really out of his mind! Even $50 is too much!

Well for me, if it's his money that he's spent for the fireworks that will be okay for me, but if my money or our money i would be stop talking to him for awhile. In my case, if i ever spent more that $500 on the fireworks or for something else, im sure my hubby will nag and shout a nasty word on me. Last time i spent £34 on phoning overseas and he looks like he will going to kill me, lolz.

I would kill him! What a waste of money! If you can afford it and don't have overdue bills or big credit card debt I guess ok, but I would never allow it to happen especially with the economy in the whole, how does someone do that. I really feel bad for you. I would probably take away you know what from him for a month at least. LOL LOL LOL!

I would trust them to have a good reason to and ask why they did. But it depends on the money situation I guess. If we were really tight for money but wanted some fireworks and he spent way too much well I guess I would be hurt that he didn't care about my feelings. But if we had enough to spare for that amount on fireworks but it meant we couldn't do other stuff like buy a new TV or something for a while well I would just trust that he must have thought we really needed those fireworks for something and not say anything about it.

Someone would get a fire set on him. Why would he do this? Why does anyone spend $200? You are going to be setting off fireworks for a month. My preference is to go to a public display of fireworks. I know I will not get burned then, and it is easier on my ears.

well I'm not married but if my boyfriend spent that much I really couldn't say anything without sounding like a hypocrite. My dad has always been obsessed with fireworks and would spent LOTS of money each year on them, and 2 years ago when I finally had my own money, I went crazy. I spent about $250 on fireworks and my boyfriend thought I was crazy. But if my boyfriend and I had been living together at the time, I wouldn't have spent so much, so I agree that when you are in that kind of partnership then you must both be in agreement on spending that kind of large amount of money on something

Sorry to say but I would love it. I love fireworks, I probably spend way to much money on them myself and my wife yells at me every year. So if she actually went and spent all that money on fireworks, I would think that, that is sooo cool Of course she probably would not get the good stuff, like I would pick but it would be cool. Guess you are going to have a great show.

Simple solution to a common problem with men who do not balance the checkbook. First, you need to start selling tickets to the greatest fireworks show in the neighborhood, $5.00 bucks a head. Second, let your husband know that he will be in charge of setting up the fireworks show. Third, and most important, collect the money yourself and replace the overspent $500.00 dollars on fireworks. Let me know how it turns out.

Husbands and wives should be in agreement about spending money so I would be very upset if my husband overspent by $300. That's a large sum of money to be blowing on fireworks...even if they are really cool! My husband's three nephews spend around that amount or more every year (each) for the family fireworks display but I have a feeling that the recession will make it turn out to be a bit smaller this year.

I think I would've killed him, after I spouted every 4 letter word that I knew. And then I don't think I would be talking to him for quite awhile. I would be very hurt that he never consulted me on the money he wanted to spend, because in my house, whatever money we have is shared. It doesn't belong to just one of us. How dare he do it! But then again, it just goes to prove that guys are the real children in the family...they just never seem to grow up.
