Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : We borh work. We have a household budget that we stick to built around a joint account we both pay into. Then, after we’re both done covering the household budget for the month sometimes I buy stuff just because I can pay for it. When that happens I do so from my personal account. Our budget together covers all our immediate needs, savings for long and short term goals, an emergency fund, travel, and more. All my individual expenses come from my personal funds after expenses. But it’s a major huge deal that I’m so irresponsible with “our” money when I spend a buck from my own account on something she wouldn’t spend on from hers.

AITA for using the money left over in my personal account after we’ve covered our agreed-on  household budget for personal purchases? All I want is agency over the spare change I have left after keeping up my end of what we agreed to when we agreed to do money as a couple.

What do you think?
