What's the total petty cash you are allowed to use before getting authorization from HR? somewhere between the expense of a pack of gum and a lunch out? most companies let you expense out lunch without authorization

Joint accounts and checking with your wife before spending seems really weird to me. We have completely separate money and couldn't give a poo poo what each other is spending as long as the bills get paid and some money is getting saved. Joint accounts is for naughty boys who need a responsible adult to make sure they don't spend the mortgage money on sweets

nobody gives a gently caress about your personal life and choices. the worst part of this thread is when people start sharing what they do in their lives. it's not a journal.

flick my Mr. Bean posted:"Hey, I'm gonna buy Titanfall 2. That cool with you?" I think it's simply, some people have hangups discussing money issues and clearing spending with each other, whereas other couples have hangups elsewhere. Like, for my wife and I, it's never been an issue being like "hey, I want to get this, " "Cool, we'll check our joint discretionary fund and see if there's room... Hey maybe I can put off this other thing I wanted so you can get your thing this month and I'll get mine next month..." And we both get whatever we want faster since whomever makes less isn't limited by their own earning power. But other couples seem to utterly dread this kind of conversation. Couples that are normal and functional. So I just think for some couples, handling money is more rife with possible points of contention whereas for other couples their potential fights come from other issues (like pretending to not hear each others safewords.)

But I want my wife to get things she wants as fast as possible, and she wants the same for me. Having joint accounts allows that to happen. If one of us has an off month, but the other made a lot, joint accounts prevent one person from not getting something they'd like while their SO just sits on extra money. I always wonder what's going to happen when separate accounts couples have kids, which almost unilaterally result in one side taking off more work to do childcare

One parent (often mom) ends up being the one to spend her money on necessary kids stuff while the other spouse buys Titanfall 2 for himself. This is somewhat that happened to my sister in law.

Now that I reread this, I realize either I can't get my head around what your'e saying, or else it contains some sort of a typo. With joint accounts, there is a risk of spending all of your partner's money With separate accounts, there's no risk of spending all of your partner's money So, you can see why I'm confused by what I perceive to be the argument that joint accounts are for people at risk of spending all the money?

This is somewhat that happened to my sister in law. Oh hey, I totally get that it's good for some couples. My argument is that both strategies are valid and can be optimal for different relationships, so you can see why this will never fly in GBS Edit: Whoops, I'm continuing a derail. Sorry.

One of the comments:quote:I don't know hiw you're going to choose to resolve this, but if you stay together, could you get her something else to bite? I'm not sure what's available for this, but maybe you two could look into some sort of gag or a harness or something she could sink her teeth into instead of you? It's simple! To ensure a mentally and physically stable relationship, just muzzle your girlfriend when you come into close contact.

Also, agreeing with the poster who pointed out that the 15 year old reuined his chance to exchange the game for the game he wanted. Wow Did anyone get the feeling there might have been something unstated... I kind of pictured the mom utterly doting over the 3-year-old and ignoring the 15 year old. This would make the teen's getting upset at perceiving she didn't even care enough to buy him the present he (in his own mind) had clearly written down way less irrational. Then the dad is like "yo, you both got issues, I ain't the one dealing with this." The way she chose to tell her story is what made me think this: She explains all about the three year old and how he got a toy from santa and how her sister did the right thing by telling her child never to act like that and literally none of that has anything to do with her story Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Dec 25, 2016 |

My husband and I have separate accounts, but we're both grown-ups who are good with money so we don't feel the need to check in on each other's poo poo all the time. If one of us is going to make a big purchase, we usually say 'hey I'm going to go buy x', and the other one says 'cool we need an x', and that's about it. Now, granted, we both make good money so we're not in a position where we need to scrutinize our spending, but we generally buy ourselves things as desired and it hasn't caused any issues. This system definitely wouldn't work for everyone, but we've been doing it for a decade without any issues. Point is, there's lots of ways to negotiate spending in a relationship. Ultimately, the best way is the one you can both agree on and both stick to.

Thought i'd check the comments (jesus reddit is a mess to navigate), I was expecting nice guys saying she should give him a chance but its pretty sensible Except maybe this quote:It's possible (though not terribly likely IMO) that it's platonic. I have a friend who I've had for years now who acts like sort of a doting older brother/bestie to me. He once gifted me a nice bike that he built up (!). I myself wondered for a minute if he was crushing on me, but honestly...he's not. He just isn't. I'm just one of his super favorite people and he's a sweet (and awkward) person.

Wow The 3-year-old is a step-nephew or something, whose mother and new step-father are visiting for Christmas. They're not permanent residents. A 15-year-old should be able to tolerate sharing attention for a day or two.
