I feel y’alls pain... my husband is unfortunately an auditor who specializes in Fraud and a damn CPA so there is no escaping the watchful eye. He has spreadsheets galore devoted to our household. I am a stay at home mom..so while he makes a good salary by most standards but it supports 4 people modestly. His cartons of cigarettes are paid for in cash so he ignores his own expenditures but mine are in the checkbook where he can tally them up...there are also rules as to which card I can use... lol. I put a cup of coffee and a muffin on our balance transfer credit card once and got lectured for an hour about compound interest and how that cup of coffee would most likely end up costing us about 50 bucks when all was said and done.


whatever, I ignore it ... lol

Do I hide them? Heck no! Every time I get a package in the mail it's like Christmas! I gotta drag the wife into the room and show her all the shiny new toys I got!

She couldn't care less, of course, but she at least tries to act excited for me.

Don't feel bad, my wife shows no interest in my package either. Ba-Dam-Boom! Sorry, couldn't resist. Well I could have but...

LOL No I dont hide them, but he doesnt seem to believe that most of them are swaps from
PIF. Even though they are! I get lots of packages every week.

Ya I get that one too...But but It's PIF!

He's Freaked with every co-op I've done........Dear 99% of this Isnt mine..Promise!
 
I dont hide them for the wife...if she checks the mail and i get a package, she just puts it on the counter for me. she doesnt question what I buy, and I dont question the fact if she does or doesnt need a new pair of shoes, or a new outfit. So far it has been working pretty good.

Really near the mexican border.
How about having a wife that works for a bank in the back office and calling you up asking "hey what did you just buy?"

I got one better, how about a SO that used to work as office manager of a bank branch and spent some of her time looking at our ac..... Now she has more time to look at our account now she sells insurance, has lots of time to look at our account when she's not really busy. It just sucks, and I just got a lecture, last night.
