I always feel a bit guilty if I DON'T tell him about things, unless it's really small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552726 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:19:27 +0000 Reese 552726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep.</p> <p>I tell him about all of the ones he needs to know about </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552722 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:17:46 +0000 JerricaBenton 552722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't specifically tell him but we have the same account so he can see whatever he wants. I'd tell him if I was going to spend a lot though. I have my own account that he can't see the statements but I have to get cash to pay my bills so I can't really keep any secrets if I wanted to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552712 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:07:06 +0000 hilsy85 552712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our accounts are joint, so he sees everything, but I tell him anyway because I like to share :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552696 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 17:01:24 +0000 .twist. 552696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends... I don't think we tell each other everything, and I'm not going to tell him if I bought some soup for lunch but if I buy some new clothes I'll show them to him. Our accounts are joined, he'd see the money go anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552690 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:57:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 552690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much. He would see new stuff around the house. Same thing with him, any time he buys a new gadget or motorcycle apparel he always wants to show me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552648 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:27:16 +0000 oliviaoblivia 552648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually, but not because he's the money police just in the course of conversation. 'Went shopping today and got this sweater, do you like it?' Kind of way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552642 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:24:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 552642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - we have a joint account and share everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552640 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:24:24 +0000 avivoca 552640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to. Our checking accounts are separate (we have a joint savings), and I don't think I would want it any other way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552638 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:24:08 +0000 Mrs. Train 552638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now we are scrutinizing everything in our budget so have. Budget tracker that is shared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552636 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:23:11 +0000 rachiecakes 552636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552635 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:23:06 +0000 MamaMoose 552635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup because I like to show off my purchases : ) Our money is all joint but I primarily manage it so he wouldn't notice. But I'm really not a huge shopper so he's never given me a hard time about buying something and I don't shop outside our means so I have no motivation not to tell him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552630 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:21:34 +0000 sslm 552630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly. Not small purchases though, like if I buy food or something, or if I use cash. If I use debit or credit for more than $10 I usually do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552627 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:20:11 +0000 heartonastring 552627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Our money is only partially combined, so anything that is just for me would come out of my own account. I certainly don't hide purchases from him, but I also don't feel compelled to tell him about every purchase I make :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552616 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:16:55 +0000 Periwinkle 552616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do. But then I always seem to justify why I needed it or how it was on such a good sale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552611 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:15:10 +0000 Honeybee 552611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552609 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:14:23 +0000 bushelandapeck 552609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not unless it's something big. I'm not sure he'd be thrilled about what I spend on non-necessesities, but he doesn't ask so I don't offer :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552601 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:12:03 +0000 Dandelion 552601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I have my own money for spending how I like. I only tell him if I'm super excited about something I got, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552599 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:11:41 +0000 Cole 552599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He sees them all but I still mention most purchases. If it is a standard purchase (gas, groceries) I don't but usually it is more like "I went to the scrapbooking store today." I don't usually spend more than $15 or so without discussing it anyway even if it's "hey we need lightbulbs, do you need anything else from the hardware store." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552587 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:09:08 +0000 Bookish 552587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have a very tight budget and have to account for every $ of it! That being said, if I want a 1$ kindle book I don't ask permission :p lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552569 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:05:39 +0000 Springtime 552569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, even though our money is together, I only tell him about larger purchases. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552563 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:02:47 +0000 MrsBrewer 552563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we both watch our budget very closely (we are just getting by) and we both watch our spending and always know what we have in accounts/what our balance is on our credit cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552551 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:55:21 +0000 prettylizy 552551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have all joint accounts so he 'knows' but he doesn't police it and I don't report all shopping. Kind of like don't ask don't tell? lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552548 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:53:30 +0000 MrsTiz 552548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Our money is together, so even if I only spend $20 I like to let him know. He does the same for me, and I wouldn't be okay with it being any other way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552539 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:49:38 +0000 pui 552539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not all of them. Smaller purchases are not his business really. Bigger things I do. like for instance I just bought myself a Kindle Paperwhite and I mentioned it to him.</p> <p>Yes, I have my own "separate" money, but I consider all of our money, well, OUR money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552537 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:49:10 +0000 heffalump 552537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a joint account. I'm so thrifty, it's very rare for me to buy something I don't NEED anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552535 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:48:47 +0000 Alivoo01 552535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally, yes unless it's regarding food. Hubby does the same with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552534 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:48:39 +0000 littlek 552534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. It's my money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552533 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:48:00 +0000 yoursilverlining 552533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! My money, my business! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-your-so-about-all-your-purchases#post-552531 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:47:06 +0000 blackbird 552531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I have my own account for stuff, so I don't always let him know if i went shopping or what I bought. </p>
