Ask Annie: Boyfriend is Selfish with Money. What Should I do?

A: Money droughts are the number one vibe killer. As a woman, I know you want to be pampered and treated to a soft life, but it seems that your boyfriend is not on the same page. I suggest a joint account for the child. He can put it on autopay and forget about it. Now, we all work hard for our money and should be able to do with it as we please. If designer is his thing, don’t be over there pocket watching. Tell him to buy the baby designer, matching outfits are great for Instagram. But at the end of the day, you can’t make a man do anything he doesn’t want to. So, if you talked about how you want to be treated and you want a man who pays your bills, and you’re not getting that, you should reconsider. I’m not talking you into a cold bed, but you should consider that life is short and you should get what you want out of it. On the other hand,

Q: My boyfriend is so selfish when it comes to money. He makes way more than me and he wants me to pay all of my bills, which I do, I don’t beg him for anything. But on top of my bills (car, insurance, phone, hair, nails) he wants me to pay all the bills for our son too. I think it’s unfair and very selfish since we are together, living together, and share responsibilities. It’s no baby mama on child support situation. He doesn’t pay for any of our kid’s stuff but is so quick to spend thousands of dollars on designer shoes and outfits. I feel like he doesn’t understand me or value me.

ninjas around the world are cheap AF or broke AF, so you might find yourself in the same sinking boat.

Think about it,
