She Caught me but I still kept the Cash!

[LODFFB]

Guys I have a Little extra Ice House/Fishing money My wife does a budget every month to pay bills and it has eveyything out to eat, gas, daycare, housepayment, Larry's Cash $40. (for the month ). So when I got my paycheck and saw we got a good X-mas Bonus and added it to the wifes money for the month we got a little Surplus. Even with paying Ins for vehicles and X-mas presants. My wife works at the same bank we bank at Proably not a good thing. So when I get to the bank and hand my deposit slip to the teller (my wife cant give me money obviously) she punches it all up on the computer and counts out my cash to herself. Note my wife was 3 ft away on a half wall I think this is great just hand over my $150 stash it away and no worries. So She starts counting it out to me Silently and then "oh did you want something other than 20'S" I'm thinking NO NO Just hand over the money and shut up, then she count it out LOUD 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 150 My wife peers over and says "GEEE thers alot of money being dished out over here. The other teller starts laughing and says oah is that why you were shushing me and waving your hands in my face I'm sorry After a little grumping from my wife I kept the money Life is good

Works out different in our place, I take care of all the finances and make sure everyone gets payed. Not always an easy task. But it works out for the best, this last month I bought the wife a new sewing machine she had been wanting, and I went out and bought a Frabill Trekker for me and the boy. Both cost the same so we were all even. This month I need a new auger, now to figure out what to get her again.

Have similar problem, wife works at the bank and does our finances. Most of the time it is not to bad though. Just when I want to make larger purchases it takes a little work. For the average stuff doesn't even blink. Gotta love that.

So I'm not the only one that tries to hide the X-mas bonus money from the wife!! I get my bonus in cash, so it's easier for me, but she knows I get a bonus every year? I usually tell her I got $50.00 and keep whats left for myself wich is usually about a hundred bucks. This way I can buy some new tackle and stuff without the wife complaining about it.

It's almost scary how similar our wives are. I get an "allowance" and my wife counts every last penny and needs to know where it went, so to sneek a purchase in doesn't work too well.

Anyway, way to go on getting the money to yourself afterall. She probably thought it was cute, seeing you try to hide money from her, my wife laughs "usually" when she catches me trying to hoard some extra cash for myself.

My wife does the finanaces and I like it like that cause frankly I don't know that I would make sure all the bills got paid before I got all of my toys.

She's pretty good about letting me get one big thing a year for ice fishing. Hunting is usually the same since those are my only realy hobbies. Camping in the summertime is spent by our whole family so buy those items becomes a "family" expense.

Nice work on the bonus cash.

I keep a playmoney account at the credit union for my small emergencies.

[kenlaker]

My wife does the bills as well, however she also in the last few years has been good to me at Christmas-- she chats with the folks at Cabelas -- one year an FL-18 , another a Magellan Sporttrack Pro GPS-- nice,huh?

I build custom rods as a hobby and all the proceeds go to my fun money account. I have at least enough stashed at the moment for a new ice house, now I just need to decide which one.

Well I guess there are other guys out there like me. I'm not one of those that can go buy whatever, whenever. But some can which is fine with me. Tonight I took the son out shopping (3 yrs) we went to Menards and played in the play area bought some Reflextix insulation and a 4 X 4 outside box which I didnt pay for cause when the guy swiped it it didnt register Then we went to Target and I spent some of MY money and got a couple DVDs $20. Then when we get home the wife says well you could have used the check card. &*(^%%#@#$^&^% Women

Not all women are made equal. My wife doesn't worry about what I spend money on and I don't worry about what she spends it on. I usually get one new big toy a year. This year it was two a new rifle and a H20 C + LM Chip.
