My mother and her friends have war stories they like to pass on . . . one friend used her deceased mother's credit card for years. My mother's trick was to buy a new frock and stick it in the closet. If my Dad noticed, she'd pull the tried-and-true, "What, this ol' thing?" My granma was also an advocate of having a pushke fiber cut (I think that's the word), basically a secret stash. My fiber cut mother euphemistically called this her "Christmas Club" though we're Jewish. It gave her an excuse fiber cut to squirrel money away. I've also heard of women who took the financial reigns and put their DH on an allowance. Breadwinner, schmedwinner. I'm new to your site, so sorry if I'm talking out of school here. Just trying to help. I love your site, it feels like a guilty pleasure (chocolate without the calories? My own mental Christmas Club?) Anyway, honesty isn't always the best policy when it comes to family finances. Good luck. Posted by: Inland Empress | 2004.04.08 at 07:21 PM men. hmph.
