In the first year I went to work, my salary was not enough for living, so I usually broken pocket. I have realized that because I didn't know how to spend money logical. I started to control my spending. I swear I'll never fall into a burning bag again. I done that for a long time. Some days ago, my husband need money. So, I gave him all amount I have. Yesterday, he went out with his friends. I stayed at home. I needed buying gas and foods. But I didn't have money. I feel upset. I felt get angry. The feeling when you didn't have any cents in your pocket is very uncomfortable. I got angry with my husband. I felt stress. Have you ever been in this situation?

I feel sad too for your case. Better you should not give all money to your husband...because you are a person who takes responsibility for many thing else such as buying food, gas, etc..in your house. To solve that situation, you can go to ask someone to borrow some money to buy good and gas for cooking first ..and you can return money back soon when you have money. Next time, you should remember ..always keep back a little money for some unexpected situations.

This is an experience for me. I'll save a little money for unexpected situations. I also work more hard to earn, such as online working.

Indeed I have! They say they "need" something try to justify it and then you find out what it is and it's just But then ask can we go to the store for this or that I say well what happened to those ciggies you needed or like you mentioned going out with his co-workers (while I stay home with the kids, thankfully he doesn't go out too much). Yep it certainly can get a person a bit ticked off indeed!

Yaah, this situation comes in the life of everyone belongs to the middle class family. Also this situation really give a lesson to us that we should maintain some balance so that this can be utilized in any odd condition. Also, we should care that we should not be fully out of pocket, else there will be another situation created.

Both parents working is good to earn money if poss - Always keep money for oneself.
Yes often very often people stress of lack of money or money is lost or money is not enought and such , relationship break and stress out because of money and such.Sometime money is lost due to robbery and bad economic job salary is not enought or salary is late . Hence it is important and prudent to save money and especially save money for oneself and not give to other people.keep separate saving account if possible.If possible both parents work. Either full time or one is part time, atleast online working.

I agree with you that both parent working, family finance will be better. I'm going to make a private and secure saving. However, I can't do it.

I haven't had no money in my pocket.According to your words,you are now lack of money.Although money isn't everything,we can not live without money.So you feel stressed.At ordinary time,I do something to keep me away from lack of money.The method is simple but difficult.It is to hold your desire.For example,when you want to buy something good to eat and the food isn't necessary for you,you will must feel very uncomfortable to hold the desire.However,after do it for some times,you will get accustomed slowly. In the other hand,you can make a deal with your husband to spend the money more carefully and more effectively.

It is not wise to surrender all of your personal saving to your husband. In fact, a husband and a wife must understand that they do have an equal responsibility to their financial to support their family. In my personal view, your husband should not go out with his friends if he did not have the budget to spend. As a wife, you should tell him about your financial problem so that, both of you could share and resolve the problem at the same time. No matter how, tolerance is the must in a family. Never argue or quarrel because of the money matter. If both of you have a financial problem, both of you must discuss to each other and to find a way to increase your earning. This should be the proper way to live together, I think.
