I let my husband manage the money, but in less than a month, he transferred back 5 million, and complained with a sad face that he had no money left to buy a razor.

Managing family expenses is sometimes a difficult problem. If you don't know how, you will end up with a lot of money.

My husband and I are both workers. If we work overtime regularly, our total salary is about 22 million. On the contrary, if there is no overtime or a reduction in production, our salary is very low, less than 16 million for 2 people.

I had to calculate, save, and cut expenses in all sorts of ways to save more than 400 million. With that money, my husband and I decided to build a level 4 house but still incurred a debt of more than 200 million.

After the house was built, I got pregnant with my second child, and had to spend a lot of money. Money became a difficult problem, giving me a headache. Every month when my eldest child got sick, I was short of money, and had to borrow money from my mother's family to make ends meet.

So I always advise my husband to cut down on drinking and hanging out with friends. We still have to pay off debt, raise 2 children and worry about their future. But my husband always complains, thinking that I spend money lavishly and that's why I'm out of money. When he sees me buying branded diapers for my child (more expensive than cheap ones), he also scolds and compares me. Or when I buy new clothes for my older daughter, he tells me it's a waste, if the old clothes are still wearable, then wear them; while the old clothes are already worn out and torn at the armpits.

So annoyed, last month, I proactively transferred my salary to my husband. I told him to keep it all and spend it to show me how miserable I am. He was very happy, patting his chest and saying that he would definitely save a few million each month to show me.

But then the tuition fees for the 2 children (1 in grade 1, 1 in 2 years old); milk; diapers; food; gas; domestic and foreign affairs; sick visits, maternity visits; household shopping; electricity and water bills; debt payments;... made him dizzy and have a headache. There were days when he spent more than 4 million VND, my husband grimaced, asking why there were so many things to spend on. He even said he didn't dare buy a new shirt or a new razor, and now the money was almost gone. He took a 500,000 VND bill to the market and could only buy a few things and it was all gone.

I laughed and asked my husband if he understood how I felt. Just because I gave my wife 12-14 million doesn't mean I'm good, or that I have the right to criticize and look down on her. In the past, I knew how to weigh money and calculate. Even if I didn't buy anything for myself, if my husband said he wanted to buy something, I would buy it right away.

Yesterday, my husband "raised the white flag of surrender", transferred the remaining 5 million back to my account, and told me to keep the money because he didn't know what to do anymore. With less than 5 million left, how can I survive until I receive my next salary? Sometimes I have to "give in" to him to show off so he can understand the hardship. Managing money is not an easy task, it is always a difficult problem for wives.
