The military pays its soldiers for being married. I should know I was a military wife for 8 years, and because my former husband was MLRS, if there was anything going on, police actions, whatever, he was the first called out.
When a man or woman is deployed, there is very little they can do to take care of things back home. And he or she should not be worried about all that anyhow.
While they are deployed they recieve seprate rats, hazzard pay, so they make more during these times.
Also, before he is sent away, usually they will sign over power of attorney to handle business while they are out.
While my ex-husband was out, all his needs were met by the Army. There were no places to go shop or things like that. So, everything went home.
My husbands check was always sent D.D. into our account.
If he did not make provisions for you before he left and you are bearly making it, go to his unit and speak to someone about getting help. The military always takes care of its own. And they can help you quickly.
And for the smart *** comments from the ones who think she needs a job or her own money, I can promise you it is very hard for the spouses when they see their loved ones go off knowing they may not come back home. No soldier worth his rank would want their loved ones doing without. Not when the person they love is what keeps them going from day to day. She has a valid question, and may not be a seasoned soldiers wife with all the answers. The least you can do is extend some curtiousy and show some respect for a family who is need while the husband is off fighting in this war.
Good luck to you and tell your hubby to kick some azz!!!

Regardless of where a person is working, the important thing is that the bills are being accounted for.
You and your husband need to already have an agreement on how the financial responsibilities are divided.
Do you want to live a champagne lifestyle on a beer budget? So maybe a bit more thought into your question would help us provide you a helpful answer.

Enough to pay the bills. Anything beyond that is up to him. I'm sorry to belittle your experience, but he's not exactly on vacation over there. If he feels he needs the money for extra entertainment, then let him.
If you're falling short on bills, mention it to him politely, and ask him if you could please get a bit more. Ask, don't demand. It's got to be hard enough for each of you for him to be deployed overseas, don't turn money into an issue as well.

It is not the problem of what all money is
money is not what all men wants
you must get the love of your husband and hence for that u must call back ur husband and then work together with full of love and affection
in case you mustnot be tension for the wages your husband sends to you
you must understand problems of working in country like iraq
if he loves u he will send the money suffecitnt for u keeting his stomach half..........

I'd call his stateside base, explain your financial problem. The operator will put you in touch with whomever can help you. Sounds though like you've got an inconsiderate husband, and that's just plain not good!

seems like half the people here arent even military spouses, and since I AM actually one... heres my veiw, as long as he has everything he needs, which when theyre deployed, they pretty much have everything that they need... i see that they only need money for entertainment, or souvenirs, so pretty much all of the check... but being deployed is also the perfect time to save money also... lol, and dont forget the goodie boxes...

You mean there are men fighting and risking their lives daily in Iraq with wives expecting them to send money home. I thought it worked the other way around with the wife sending parcels of goodies for her brave courageous husband.
