 Re: Husband Makes more Money then me, can I tell him how to spend it?
My ex made about 75% of our household income and I earned 25% of it. When we first married we set up an arrangement where we contributed those same percentages toward the household bills and the system worked very well.
If our total expenses each month were $2,000, for instance, his earnings paid $1,500 of it and I wrote a check to him for $500. Whatever was left over was ours to do with as we pleased. (He still let me spend generously, but that's a different story. We had plenty for both of our wants and needs.)
I'm confused by your post, though. Your husband could still spend mostly the way he does if you own a home or rent it. In fact, it'd probably cost less to rent. So why is that a problem?
