Both Bus and I both work ,ok she works part time but is very proud of what she earns and knows all to well that money does not grow on trees in the UK and we have to pay high tax`s .
Now i pay for every thing to do with the house leaving Bus to keep her money to do with as she sees fit.As far as i know she saves as much as she can, buys things for around the house and for this and that and sends some back when one of the girls here goes back for a holiday.
Now we have been married now for nearly two years and the other night for the very First time her family (namely her mother)asked for money,what surprised me was that Bus said "no" ,so i asked her why and it turns out it was for her sister who has over spent on keeping face,and will not stop spending as she wants to keep face for some reason.
On a whole though i tend to try and keep out of her family affairs as i have enough with my own family.

One other thing i have often thought about buying a house and pick up truck in LOS as a holiday home type thing,But once again the good lady wife said NO to me ,with the reason being that as we can not live there yet it would be very hard to keep an eye on it all and to make sure that family lodgers dont move .One of the wifesfriends has a a house and car over there brought and paid for here.A couple of weeks ago she had a phone call saying her brother had borrowed the pick up truck with out her permision (i thinks it been happening alot but hey ho)and had crashed it ,leaving her with the repair bill.This often repeted to me by the wife every time i look at trucks out there.
