This is a question pertaining to money. I sort of already know the answer to this, (but you know how sometimes it's helpful to be reassured of what's right and wrong).

There's just the 3 of us. Hub, myself & daughter.
He earns close to 100K a year. So, we aren't exactly struggling financially, really.
My beef is how he whines and moans about EVERY little cent spent, (and I do not spend needlessly). We have no major overhead, other than monthly rent...(we do not own), and the usual monthly bills, nothing excessive.
Even though daughter is a teen, she does not request what alot of teen girls usually nag for....so I do make certain that the few things she does ask for is provided, so long as they are earned, of course.

And with our ages ...getting "up there", of course more med issues will be requiring attendance..meaning $$ spent. What is frustrating about this, especially is how we have insurance...almost complete, full coverage medical and dental, (optical there is a co-pay), so any money isn't coming out of the pocket, really....Yet, since I've been needing some optical attending lately, (eye issue), he's been *****ing how I'm such a financial burden to him. Sigh.

I've taken it upon self to remove money out of "his" bank account (which he "allows" me to have full access to...go figure), and place into "my" account so that I do not have to nickle n dime him for spending on the usual...(which is groceries, and gas...blah blah). I use what's in my acct to spend on daughter's needs...so he isn't "bothered" by it...(and so I don't have to hear his *****ing).
He tells me that it isn't right that I remove from one acct n place into another. I feel it perfectly alright because of his analistic tendancies, (it prevents further discrepencies between us).

We just finished filing "our" taxes.....and "he" is getting back almost 10K.
My signature was required to have our taxes filed, yet it's "his" money.
Sigh.

Blah. This gets old.....lol. Guess I'm just ranting....
