Where I will spend some money trying to make more money.She will want to save the money to make sure we can pay for something down the road. So we do clash over that sometimes.

The Clash over Cash

Yes, we SPEND time over this as well. My wife is great at saving money and complains to me my ability not to save. I need to reply that I pay the majority of the bills, only leaving her to pay her own credit card and sometimes groceries. It is a subtle transaction saving for the future, while still enjoying the today.

Willy The Londoner:
I only pay at the supermarket and my Chinese language teacher monthly fee.  I pay no household bills, no TV, no internet, no telephone, no gas, no water, no electricity, no garden or car parking charges nor any other regular charge. 

I have no interest in paying these. Am I concerned - no one bit. I have complete faith in my wife's spending.  She will not buy something costing even 5 rmb without telling me the price.   Whenever she goes to the safe she will tell me how much she has taken for the monthly expenses.

 I have money paid into our account every month which we both have access to.  This is far more than we need for every day living.  I have no idea and in fact do not need to know how much she is paid for looking after her nieces children. I have no idea if this goes into the safe or her own account.  That is her money as far as I am concerned.

I tell her that she can spend what she likes.  If she wants to save for when I am not here then thats ok because while I am here I have what I want when I want.

She has changed my life and my only wish would be that I had a lot more years, than I probably have, to enjoy what I have found late in life.

Willy
