  1. I hope the man gives her enough to spend. I have seen it often where the women were being restricted on spending and the women have to borrow from someone else.

    On the other hand, my pal used to give his wife 50,000bht a month to spend on herself.

    That wasn't enough either!

    Just like you said in the above, never have enough money to spend, no matter how much you make/have.

    As a woman, it does feel liberated to be able to make my own money, to pay my own bills, and to spend anyway I want it.

  2. We have a joint account that I transfer into from overseas when it is getting low, makes sense for if something happens to me and I get carted off to hospital she has access to funds, same if I should die she has access to money without going through the court order bit.

    She does not touch the joint account, I get money out every month by card and give her money for all the months expenses, she puts this in her account and pays everything with her card, what is left once everything is paid is hers, what that is I don't ask and she has no need to say.

    I know she doesn't touch the joint Acc because I get slips from ATM's when I withdraw and keep a record. I keep what I think I will need for the month and can withdraw more if needed.

    We don't have to ask each other for money she knows what she will get each month and budgets accordingly.

    Any large items like the recent new fridge I pay for, although she buys smaller things like for instance a new rice cooker with her card.

    She has her own bank accounts, savings and term deposits, and keeps accounts for her sisters and their kids which they pay into.

    There is also the 800k on TD which I control but which we could use in an emergency.

    Must be pretty grim living with someone you cant trust.

    Trust? Not quite, why do you transfer the money from the joint account to her account to pay the bill? If you trust her, why don't you have her pay the bills from the joint account?

    Because sometimes, the neighbour's aunt is down on her luck and needs to borrow just Bt 5,000 till next month ... she promises to pay it back soon as.

    Sometimes, it has little to do with trust and more about where the expenditure goes.
