Hi loves, Hubby and I run our own business. He does the hard labour; I take care of the office work. As such, I also take care of the finances. This is something my husband DOES NOT want to do. Being self employed, it can be up and down, in terms of how busy we are. When times are a little lean, bills get delayed awhile longer, I’ll pull money from savings accounts, etc. Hubby gets frustrated when times are good, heaps of money is flowing in, but our bank accounts don’t always reflect it. This is because I am paying back overdue bills, paying back the savings accounts, etc, plus money is being spent because, well, it’s there. Nothing outrageous, but we may go out to dinner or hubby will buy himself an Xbox game - that sort of thing. I’m quite good at not spending money on myself. At the moment, money is good, but we’ve had some big bills due, Christmas gifts are being purchased, etc, so our account isn’t reflecting the money that has been coming in. How do I word it to hubby, if he asks this time, about where our finances go? In my mind, all is well: we are living comfortably, we’re not doing without, bills are being paid, I’m setting aside the right amount of dollars for the taxman, etc. Hubby seems to expect that when we earn XYZ per week, that that exact XYZ will be sitting in our account, untouched.
