I'm the financial difficulties now. There are a lot of money should I spend for this month. Pay my child's school, pay taxes, buy a present for my cousin's wedding, and some other needs. I know, my wife had income from his online work, and I told my wife, to use the money to cover one month of this expenditure. My wife looks forced, agreed to my request. Looks like my wife, had other plans, for the money he earns. Did I make mistakes, to ask my wife, helps reduce the expenditure for this month?

well, maybe you have tot try to save your money every month so if there is a big expenditure like this, you had prepared it. i know it is not easy to save money if our income is very less, maybe you can try to seek some extra money. i hope you and your wife are a great partner in finance

Yes. indeed very difficult to save money, because the income is not good. My wife and I, are having problems, and our communication was not good, it makes us, can not be a good team, in financial terms.

The problem that we faced very heavy. We hardly think about, things about our household. We only occasionally, talk about problems at home.

Not at all. As a wife who's only source of income is making money online I have been asked a couple of times to use the money I have earned to help with bills. As much as am saving up to start my own online business I know that it is also my responsibility to help pay the bills. I feel that your wife should be helping out if she can. That is what a marriage is all about helping each other out and sharing responsibility.

Indirectly, all this time my wife has helped me. My wife never asked for money to me, for it requires. My wife was always self-sufficient, with its own income. I myself, often giving money is not much, just enough for food shopping needs.

I definitely don't think that you were wrong to do this. I feel that a couple should work together to make things work out. My husband and I work things out together, when it comes to pretty much everything. If I need to borrow a few bucks from him, I'll ask and he usually understands. Or vice versa. I think that, if you talk to her and explain the situation, she may understand.

No! You did not make any mistake about it. Good to say something to our wife sometimes. You have a problems and need your wife assistant in such a case, friend... You maybe guilty about it because you don't want your wife to be included in your problem because you love her so much...I appreciate your way of loving your wife. But there is a time you need to open it to your wife...about the problem you face.

No, you done the right thing in telling her that you need money, for other things, also she should know that the bills have to be paid before anything else.There are loads of ways that people can reduce their monthly spending and in the past i have helped a friend to reduce their bills by an extra £60, that was at a quick glance helping her where to save.

What makes me hesitate, because during this time, my wife never asked for money to me, even to their own needs, my wife was using his own money.

You are not wrong. This is an opportunity for your wife, to get a reward from God. Your wife must be sincere. Maybe your wife is upset, because your wife already has plans for his money. But, your wife must be sincere. I'm sure of it.

You are not wrong, ask for help to your wife. I am sure your wife will agree, if all this time, you treat your wife well.

I think you wife knows that she has to help in the finances. Just talk about it nicely with her. Pay first those that have deadlines. For those other expenses , analyze if there's a need to buy them. It helps that you talk about all that you have to pay for the month with your wife. I know, she's very willing to help you my friend.

No, that's not a problem at all. Sharing in the family is one of the important things to make it more stronger and better. Consultations and confrontations are one of the best thing to do if they are forced or not. And in this situation, she should consider what you need to fix first before spending money which are not that important. After everything has been done, you'll feel the comfort on what you just paid for or spend for. The only rule that I keep unto myself with comes to spending money is "Do not overspend". Cheers to you!
