Ladies, have you ever gone to the store and bought something over $50 dollars without your man's permission?

Question

I know sometimes when women go to the store they can get 'caught up in the moment' and want to buy something expensive they think is really neat or fancy. I think it is important for them to call their man first to ask his permission to buy it. This way he can decide wether it is a good item for her to really purchase and if he has the money in the checking account to let her buy it. Women can be so precious and her man should want her to have nice things but sometimes he has to say no.

Answer 1

LMAO, you're single right?

Answer 2

Lol That is funny! I am in charge of that sort of spending as a whole. I keep him in the loop tho because its respectful its our money for our family. $50 haha lol! You obviously don't know how high the cost of living is now. $50 is a few essentials that will barely get by thru the week. Or are you talking bout things like personal or not necessary? Like perfume or Jeans-I make my own $ I can buy my self jeans or perfume if I see fit. I am reasonable because I care about paying my bills & my credit score, so I don't blow money. When I was not working & was just a stay @ home mother even then i did not feel I had to get permission. Why because that money was mine too. I was a contributing member of our home. Not a child on allowance. i always try and be respectful & take my families needs into account when spending $ tho.

Answer 3

If my man and I were married, or shared a joint account, then there are certain things I would consult him on. It wouldn't necessarily be for permission, but as a courtesy. Or with more major purchases, if it was something we were planning on buying, just to double-check to make sure the timing is right for the purchase. My man doesn't need my permission to buy things. I don't need his permission to buy things. But in cases like being married or sharing a bank account, consideration should be make to your partner as you don't want to spend money you don't have.

Answer 4

Well I do spend a lot more then I probably should, I have bought a lot of things without consulting and I have gotten into an arguement or two. But it's a two way street for us. I make the money in my relationship right now and we both over spend and we both ask permission on things we buy as well. So it's a two way street. Of course we have "allowances" for ourselves. Not that it's been working as we planned.

Answer 5

Are you sure we live on the same planet?

I work, my paycheck goes to bills, if I feel there is $50.00 for a desired item in the budget, I buy it.

Why is this hard to understand????

You talk about adult women as if they were not of legal majority. I thought you were supposed to leave your parents when you got married, not inherit another Daddy.

If the husband is the sole provider, then yes, major purchases should be discussed. How is that not common sense?

And what's with the "let" her do this, and "not let" her do that?

Do a little time travel, do you?

Answer 6

PERMISSION? Oh please---are you living in the 80's---the 1880's????? If you truly feel a woman has to ask YOUR permission to spend more then $50 while shopping, you aren't going to keep a girlfriend very long and probably will NEVER marry... NOW HEAR THIS.... women make their OWN MONEY we don't NEED your PERMISSION to spend it....and we don't need your PERMISSION to breathe EITHER... oh and another thing Mr. HOT SHOT---if you think a WOMAN has to have PERMISSION to spend more then $50, then it should ALSO hold true that a MAN should get PERMISSION from his WOMAN to spend over $50... it's ONLY FAIR!!!!!

Answer 7

I have no idea what century you're living in, but I don't need to ask a man before I buy anything. I have my own money and I spend it the way I like, thank you very much.

Answer 8

Yes, I go to the store all the time and spend more than $50. In our house, we have agreed that anything over $150 will be discussed mutually before it's purchased.

Answer 9

I'll never spend a dime without my man's permission. If he says no is no. If I want to buy something over $50 I'll ask his premission definitely.

XOXO

Answer 10

yes, I do it all the time. I am the only one with my name on the 2 bank accounts. So I am in charge of the money around here -- --- but I do consut with him on anything over a $100 if it's not needed but I just want it

Answer 11

I balance the books around here! And yes I buy stuff all the time over $50 without asking....
Now go buy me something pretty!!!
