Should asking money from my husband hurt my ego?

I am an independent lady and am earning since my college days.After my marriage we both share the household expenses.
I earn 10,000/- p.m. After giving the rent 6000/-, giving a monthly expense (for taking care of my 2 babies) of 1500/- to my mother-in-law and filling in the LIC worth 1000/- I am left with 1500/- for the whole month (auto, tea at office and stuff for my kids) . Every month after 15th I have to ask my husband money which he gives with a lot of hesitation and says u spend a lot. What hurts me most is I have LIC's but no cash in hand. What and how do I manage. I feel ashamed 'cause I never asked money from anybody before marriage.

By marriage U & ur hasbend make a team.
It is the duty of team members to help each other if they needed.
So there is no need to feel ashame for asking money from husbend.

You really need to budget, or talk to a financial advisor if you're making $10,000 per month if I'm reading this correctly,, and you're broke by the 15th of the month

I stand corrected. Was unaware we were talking different currency. My apologies.

Once you are married, the money should be joint as well as the budget. If you can come together with BOTH incomes as a combined effort, than the money shouldn't be such a controlling issue. He shouldn't be giving you an allowance, nor should you be splitting costs. Now that you are married, you've joined a union which is for life. This should also include finances. No, you should not have your ego bruised because apparently, the finances are being controlled - not joined.

You are doing an awesome job, seriously ... I have one daughter, I earn 20,000 p.m. and am thinking of catering from home to add some more to my budget ... life here is soooo expensive that I am impressed you manage so well with 1500/-. NO you dont have to be hurt or ashamed after all you have had his children and kids have needs ... just by virtue of being the mother of his kids you have more rights than you think. He vowed to make you comfortable when you got married and you vowed to stand by him, by working you are doing your part of the bargain, now he has to pitch in. Pls dont feel anything, ask freely because you know you are not wasting the money or spending exclusively on things for yourself. also before marriage you were just one person, now you have the responsibility of two more ... plus hats off to you for giving money to your mother in law! God bless... and all the best.

HEY PEOPLE SHE IS TAKING IN RUPEES THE INDIAN CURRENCY, 10,000 RUPEES IS ROUGHLY $ 220, NOT A LOT OF MONEY FOR INDIANS WITH TWO KIDS.

Be careful with your spending habits and no i shouldn't hurt your ego to ask your husband for money. He's your HUSBAND for God's sake. The two of you became ONE when you married. wish I could earn 10,000 per month, what kinda job do you have? lol

u r not at all wrong at asking ur husband for money. and infact, i m unable to understand why u consider it as someone else's money. u have equal rights over it, as both of u earn for each other and ur family.
In my opinion u two can have a joint account for monthly expenses. and tell ur husband to start trusting u. u can always talk and solve any damn problem inside ur married life.

does he help w/ any bills
I think he should not be greedy ur money should be both of yours.

You don't co-mingle your funds? Why not? If you did, would you still have to ask him for money? Maybe it's time to talk about it with him ( the co-mingling part, not the asking for money ) Don't let your pride get in the way of your financial well being OR your marriage. The way you're going now it sounds like your husband is more like a roommate with whom you merely split the bills.

Ask and you shall recieve, never be ashamed, he should see to it that you are taken care of. Every women should have their own nest egg to draw from. Tell him to pay the rent and do the budgeting.

You thinks that you are independent lady. But once you are not. Once couple get married they are not independent. They are dependent and they should be there is no shame in it.

To ask the money from Husband or from Wife is not ashamed should not hurt ego

You have to pay your mother in law?? Does your husband split that and all the other expenses for the children with you? A marriage should be a compromise and all things should be shared including income. There should be no shame in asking your husband to help you out more. But if that doesn't work perhaps you might try to budget more. Good luck !!!

never he is ur husband its ur married right 2 ask for money infact take it and let him know.

marriage means 2 become 1

y u alone is bearing the expenses.....ur husband is also responsible for rent and all other expense. Talk to him and contribute equally to the household.

If you are earning why should you have to ask him for money. Have a joint account where both of you withdraw cash for household expenses and from which both of you dip into for expenses. Monitor each other's expenses. It's best that you be the one to hold the cash. You have to reverse what's happening. If you feel shame, it shouldn't continue. Buy a book on marriage where it gives advice on money matters in a marriage.
