prodigy and the GG...brothers or not

[walkstheplanes]

twigg- bro you sound a bit emotional which is a result of having your balls in someone else's possesion LOL.
If you require someone else to dictate and determine your own responsibility, it speaks volumes about the type of person you are.
Seriously man, be a real friggin dude and keep your own self in check, its the only way you will truly learn and your relationship will become more fruitful as a result of it.
Anyways- peace and hope you enjoy your prodigy

I consult my partner on any big purchases. For us, the limit is $200+ for major purchases for discussing the buy. We've got our future to look after, afterall... Nothing wrong with Twigg talking to his girl for permission. Maybe he's got a debt issue and she keeps him in check?

Nothing wrong at all with a little financial advising, especially in this day and age.

Yeah, other than the day to day stuff(Gas, groceries, bills) My wife and I discuss any purchase period. If not, We may both go purchase a couple hundred dollars each thinking we have plenty of money for it, and wind up lacking for the everyday stuff. Usually all she has to do is say what she wants and I say "If you want it, get it". It also lets me plan ahead and see my balance a few days before it hits the account online.

Communication and making decisions together are what make a great relationship.

Real effin guys don't exist too much anymore which is just too bad! They are all metrosexuals trying to be like us gays and failing at showing their emotions mostly!

Proper engineers don't need permission to do nuffin including buying GG!

Guys that have to Prove that they are real "effin" guys are really just insecure boys afraid that other people might be able to see how insecure they really are.

I do what makes me and my wife happy, and being financially secure makes both of us happy.

Damn skippy reign: what really shows what being a man is all about is being able to make decsions reasonably and stand by them.
Not some notion of what society says a manly man should be!

From one extreme to the other. The types of responses says it all, while the OP was a bit extreme in his/her I'll 'do what I want, period,' the other responses seem to be as much so, just in the opposite direction.

If you need to ask your SO (guy/girl or farm animal, whatever) if it's ok for you to make *any purchase* whatsoever, short of you truly being unable to afford it (which is then a quite stressful time, and you should *both* be talking about where money can/should go), and especially if they are not doing the same in return, then yes, your testosterone or female equivalent is certainly locked up in a jar with your SO.

Likewise, if you're so adamant you can spend any money you want without so much as a thought, especially if that does not *also* apply to your SO, well, good luck with that one, too.

Somewhere in the middle is usually the answer. Failing that, you need to work out separate bank accounts, say 50-75% of BOTH of your salaries into a joint account, or fixed amount, but each gets a percentage of *their* pay in their own account, do whatever you want with, and don't do it one-sided.

Ok, now send me my usb pt.

Sorry, didn't see this one before my post.

Yay, someone sane *does* exist on the forums, sounds like it's both ways, with some amount that for your own finances, 'makes an impact' that you both agree on.

:thumbsup:

How was I on the extreme at all? I pay the bills with our money and want to know what I have in the account. We are in no financial trouble...quite the opposite..and I contribute that to how we handle our finances. To think that a married man should do whatever he wants, when he wants and how he wants is a sexist and rediculous thought. A married man has his other half that he must maintain in good health and happiness as well.

To me, a real man is someone who can take care of all his responsibilities without complaining or crying about them being too hard. He does what needs to be done and when they need to be done.

Well, I'll put in one more post about this subject. It's gotten pretty off topic, but whatever.

Money is the number one topic that couples argue about. Being transparent about finances with my partner and vice versa keeps us both completely aware of our financial situation. Both of us make purchases on our own (otherwise we wouldn't be able to buy gifts for each other, haha), but still consult on big purchases. My girlfriend is going to Graduate School (Go CAL Bears!), and I'm making a career change that will more than halve my current salary, so discussing our financial future together is very important.

Second, we've got a thousand different cultural climates in this country, and that means a thousand different perspectives on how to handle anything and everything. No need to be condescending or disrespectful.

Sorry, all, I may not have even quoted the thread I meant to, and apologize. Only real point was I think either extreme, whichever way, is usually not the ideal solution for both people.

Sorry for the thread derail.

What works for you, may not work for others. Or just maybe...I mean MAYBE....someone else knows better than you Dr. Love

Who is the judge on what is "extreme" anyways? Do what works and makes you and your spouse happy.

Guess Ill just stay the sissy man that I am apparently.

Look at this sissy man!!!
