There are wives who cannot plan well in budgeting. Some wives may love to spend even if their husbands already work like carabaos, no rest and sometimes having late meals. The wife must offer food to the husband if he is working online. If the husband works in an office, the wife must prepare home cooked food for husband's lunch. Good if a wife is doing that way to mean she has the ability to budget the family's finances and not to keep on asking money daily except for the kids daily allowances. How does your wife help you in your hard earned money?

No, I don't get upset for it because my wife doesn't spend extravagantly on the things. She sticks to the budget and the things which are expensive, she discussed it with me.

That is the best thing to do to discuss the thing that seems expensive. I appreciate your wifey on that. Communication is vital for understanding and a smooth relationship.
 
Be it a wife or husband, both have equal contribution in the financial health of the family. If they both are working, they both contribute to the economy directly. They should come up with a harmonious way to share the loads. If one choses to stay home and take care of things like children and family, he/ she deserves equal respect and appreciation. Both have to have a good well planned budget and stick to it. At times, we also see irresponsible husbands who spend on unnecessary things and shy away from taking their financial obligations towards kids and wife. Both partners have to play their role in the finances
 
Some wives may not pay much attention to the family finances. They may struggle to save even if they do not ask for money. It is possible that they do not consider whether there will be enough food for the family in the coming days. Unfortunately, this kind of approach can lead the family into financial difficulty.
 
If one is not keeping account of the family finances and trying to manage a budget around it, it is highly irresponsible behaviour of the person. It will soon lead the family into a financial grave and make everyone suffer. Couples have to sit down and make their financial plans together, keeping everything clean and transparent. Financial goals are couple goals in a family. They should be on the same team
 
If it is only the husband who is working, it is normal for a wife to ask for money for food and bills and the kids are schooling too, the husband must provide however, if the wife keeps on asking, that would be another thing
 
If husband is the sole bread winner, it's his responsibility to provide for the needs of family and his wife. He has to discuss his financial status and plan the budget together with his wife. Wife needs money to run the family and also for her things. Husband should provide that. If he is not doing his duty well, wife has to keep asking for money. If she is asking for other unnecessary things, then it's irresponsible behaviour.
 
That is the best thing to do to educate the wife about the value of money and that she will be able to understand the breadwinner in the family working hard like a horse just to provide them with the necessities and not aways asking for more.
 
The task of the bread winner of the family who is usually the husband is not easy without his wife his right hand. It is also easy for the wife to budget the money. It's better if both husband and wife work.
 
I agree with you that it could be frustrating if having a jobless wife. She may not experience how hard life working five days a week and she cannot do the right budgeting. It's frustrating and annoying.
 
In general, employees only get their salary once a month, so every time they get paid, all the money will be given to their wife. If tomorrow or the next day, the wife keeps asking for money, it means that the wife cannot manage her finances or is too wasteful.
 
A wife that asks money 3 days after she receives the net pay of the husband is something not good to be tolerated. It's better not to give all the money to the wife who does not know how to budget the money. A wife like that must be reminded severally.
