How does you DH/SO feel about the amount of money you spend?

I think DH is fine with my purchases (although I am mostly frozen right now) as long as I am actually scrapbooking. If it was accumulating, he would probably make a comment.  But to I have to admit, he is more of a collector of things than I am.  Lucky for him, I only collected scrapbook supplies.  Unlucky for me, he collects watches, baseball hats, and shirts.  Ha!!

DSO is also a crafter so she spends pretty much the same ammount if not more of what I do. She loves to buy origami paper, quilling paper and tools, journals, beads, jewerlry store, sometimes I have to say stop buying until you use what you have and she is not happy about it, but she does the same with me. So we are good, is good to have someone that loves crafts as much as you do cause they "get" the need to buy that kind of stuff

Mine has no issue.. he has a collection he spends money on . also if I feel like I'm buying to much stuff. I make sure I find something for him on ebay...lol

We each have our "fun" money. It allows us to spend on whatever we want, but gives limits based on our budget. That has worked for us, so the money side isn't an issue. The space/storage side is a bigger factor for me. We just moved and downsized into a smaller place. It really highlighted how much stuff I had...both to move it and to find space to accommodate it. My focus this year has really been about using what I have and being mindful of purchasing less.

DH used to give me a lot of grief about it a long time ago, but not anymore. His activities are much more expensive than mine are, and he gets out of the house to do his stuff way more than I do. He would like it if I would do more outside activities for the sake of my sanity since I work from home and have our DD home with me so I'm here ALL the time. We are at our cabin most weekends during the summer and I don't like driving at night so for the most part I just don't.

Since having DD, my shopping has slowed way down. I pretty much have all of the big ticket stuff I want already. I'm a hands-on shopper. I like to see things up front before buying, and taking a kid along to any kind of craft store doesn't equal very much fun in my book. Plus, all the local stores have closed leaving only box stores which aren't very exciting. I could pretty much walk in the door with anything these days and DH wouldn't bat an eye.

Besides, it will cost a pile of money to build out my studio so I've been trying not to bring home tons more stuff until that's done. I'll probably have to do a little damage at The Container Store too after that.

I'm not a big shopper and would rather buy something for him instead of for me, so if I express interest in buying something for myself, he always encourages me. Love that man.

I think he is much more concerned about the amount of STUFF as ooposed to the money I spend.

Dh doesn't mind because it is my spending money. We each get our own fun money to do with what we want for every month. Now if I go over a few dollars no biggie. But if I plan to go over $20 or more, I talk to dh and we look at the fun money we have left and what we want to do with the kids. If there is a good chunk and it won't make a difference I go for it. He does whathe wants with his $ and I do what I want.

See, that just sounds like he's saying something on your past habits that you are repeating based on what you probably share with him. In other words, he's being helpful in that way men like to be. LOL It doesn't sound like he's getting in your business or telling you what to do based on what he thinks, kwim? I say that, and it literally skeeves me out when (refu)Peas say "my husband said I could...." or "my husband let me buy a Cameo" etc. So, I really think your man just has your best interests at heart, not his male dominance.

My DH is very supportive of my scrapping purchases. This is mostly because I am very thrifty and hardly ever spend money on myself. He has a pricey hobby, so I think there's a bit of guilt that goes along with his encouragement. That said, I think he is under the impression that everything bought at the LSS costs no more than a dollar.

Exactly this. Scrapbook and craft supplies are my main purchases for myself. Once a year I go to the convention and spend quite a bit but throughout the year, small purchases here and there. My husband has many hobbies, so he is pretty supportive with mine.

I am more thrifty than him and only buy what I know I will use so he says nothing.

Husband is very supportive. He's never once said a negative thing towards my crafting. At times he has only ever suggested I hold off purchasing something so we can clear another large purchase like a car service or large medical bill (soo many of those...). I always make sure to show him whatever items I've bought, I use his Amazon account so he gets the emails when I buy things, I have him purchase things in stores, and usually he's shopping with me too so he knows every little thing that I buy and how much it costs. He never bats an eye. We don't have a budget, we just make sure we pay things off and save weekly as well. It helps we don't have kids I guess.

Husband is, and always will be, the sole earner in the family but he never puts an importance on money. He knows how important crafting is and he'll even show off my art projects on his FB to his friends when I post them on mine. The only thing he's ever said is it'd bother him if I didn't use it. He doesn't like waste. But he knows I use my stuff all the time because he gets shown all the projects to "ooh" and "aaah" over.

He doesn't really care. He restores old muscle cars, which is a lot more expensive. :-)
