Will You Be Angry With Your Wife If You Discover She's Saving From Upkeep Money? by asdfjklhaha(op): 8:28pm On Sep 13, 2019
Husbands please will you be happy with your wife,if you discover she is saving from the house keep money? Please give reasons.

I went to spend sometime with my elder sister along with my mum cos she just delivered. And recently her husband was quarreling with her it got so serious that mumsy had to intervene. after everything died down, I asked mumsy what happened she said the man was very angry because his wife which is my sister has been saving money from the upkeep money he's been given to her.

that if she had any left overs she should have told him so he'll add it to the next money he'll give and spend less. he said she's selfish and inconsiderate.

for me I don't see any big deal in it cos as a woman a nursing mother she should have some cash in hand.

please what are your views

So long as the purpose or reason behind the savings is genuine, it's no big deal. But then again, how can you save from house keep money without lying, deliberately overstating costs of goods or reducing stated quantity of goods?

I'm forced to believe you didn't get the full gists. There's no way your sis could save without lying, and yeah, every reasonable spouse detest lies.

even if he's my brother I wouldn't support him. it's totally wrong. does he expect his wife to be begging him for money to settle petty personal needs? she's a woman for crying out loud.

What is the definition of upkeep money?

1. Money to run the home only i.e. food, bills, clothing etc
2. No 1 above + her private pocket money

If 1, the husband is right to be angry because except he is very rich, the money would be barely enough so excess should be declared so proper budgeting and allocating of funds done. He would however be funny if there is no provision for personal allowance for his wife and he expects her to return the excess.

If 2 and your sister doesn't shortchange the home to increase her savings, the husband should tell us what is really biting him.

You should even encourage her the more.

No, my wife actually does it and the money has come in handy a few times. Actually I always enjoy the surprise whenever she tells me she has 20k, 30k or 50k sometimes saved from the upkeep. And sometimes nothing.

That man has no sense... If she's not spending it on irrelevant things, I don't think he should have any issue with that...

Only a f00lish man would be angry with such treasure, a jewel of uttermost value of a wise woman who saves out of what she's given.
Is the money not for the upkeep of the family as a wholehuh
Hard times might even come when you'll be rescued from shame out of this little savings.

I think it's wise for every woman to do so.
After all, husband uses his money for beer and other entertainment.

Will like it if she will be considerate about it when the needs arises but will like it less if otherwise.
On the average, I will love it

No reason to be angry as long as the house is running as it should afterall the upkeep is for her to manage the house.

It's wise for every woman to do so, in case of incasity. The husband is mad that she's being prudent and saving... doesn't he know that there will be lean times and fat times?
Re: Will You Be Angry With Your Wife If You Discover She's Saving From Upkeep Money? by OgogoroFreak(m): 9:58pm On Sep 13, 2019
I will seize the money and reduce her upkeep money
