NOTHING and boy oh boy is he lucky I hate to shop!! He does the groceries but only because I HATE to. I buy clothes out of catalogs...cannot stand shopping in large stores or at the mall...too much confusion. If I had to pick ONE thing that he at ONE time liked to purchase, it would be shoes! When I first met this man, I think he had over 30 pairs of shoes; all from Footprints which is not a cheap place to go. The first time I went there with him, he bought me new nikes and some sandals and of course shoes for himself....we walked out of there $800.00 later...I almost dropped. Here I was buying my shoes at Ames, Walmart, K-mart.....and I couldn't talk most of the way home! After we married, this expensive shoe shopping got curtailed big time. Oh, we go to Footprints but not two or three times a year like he use to.
Truly, I don't care how much he spends on golf - as long as he doesn't b*tch about how much I spend on ballroom dance. He makes a lot of money and he works hard for it. Plus, the time he spends out golfing is time that I can have to myself and re-group and plan my next move!
Me ! And I never ask for anything but his biggest expense is definitely me.
I guess because we spend most of our free time together and go out a lot ( dinner, plays, concerts, films, etc...) and we travel a lot. I can't work at the moment due to health problems so he is my "Suggar Daddy" until I am well enough to work. We've been together for over 20 years and neither of us is spending much on ourselves.
But whatever money I have I really spend on him too so proportianally I am not too mean either !
I try to get him to spend money on himself but he never wants to. I had to buy him an MP3 because he just wouldn't . His biggest self indulgence recently was a decent guitar.
I know it sounds horribly corny but we do share pretty much everything.
Weeeellll, I would say my husband is fairly thrifty for the most part, but he has expensive taste. He bought a watch about 6 months ago that was so expensive that it makes me queezy thinking about it.
Before that I picked out a small sapphire necklace for my last birthday, but when I opened it he had bough an absolutely beautiful (and very expensive) sapphire and diamond necklace that cost many times more than the one I had picked out. I had tried it on, and put it back when I saw the price. He said it looked so great on me that he had to get it.
Our insurance bills are massive from insuring the jewelry he has bought me and the watch.
I am probably the more thrifty of the two of us, but he always pays cash. No debt, and we can afford it so I guess it's ok.
If I had a wife she would probably say that i spent way too much on sports nutrition...

What does your husband spend too much money on?
