Married guys - car budgets and honesty

adriver said

1. It's our money.
2. She's more important than the money.
3. Honesty is the best policy.
If you can follow these rules you, have a good partner and marriage.

That being said. Do I spend money on things I don't "need"?
Well yes.
Number 3 works for us because she's as frugal as I am. We both had Depression parents. It rubbed off. We know things can get bad fast. She has a sister. I got the cheap one. I think got the better deal. I love my wife.
Her sister is high maintenance. But then again her sister makes money.

I spend a lot of money on things i dont need and it aint all car stuff lol. but like i said before we have a account that our paychecks go into for bills and other everyday stuff and another account for taxes/work bonuses and thats for vacations. I have an account where money from stuff that i sell or other work i do and thats for my car.

We have an understanding that i can do what i want with money from my car account and if i need something and dont have the money then we discuss the details of borrowing it from savings and i put it back when i sell something or do other work and i can never have anymore than one loan out from savings.

it might seem silly but it works and there are no issues
