Why does my wife love life of cheapness?

[Anonymous]

We are first time home owner. We can actually afford to pay for a beautiful home nice subdivision community gated community but my wife is being a cheapskate want to buy a mobile home. My wife wants to save every penny even dough we make good income. I mean the mobile home is cheap but honestly I want a nice huge house. Why woman are obsessed about saving money?

Buy rental property. Pay cash for mobile or modular home and instant equity plus a 40,000 down on income producing unit. She is a smart woman, however, you are dangerous. ;-) I hope she keeps the Household accounts. She sounds like a Proverbs wife.

Thanks man
My advice bro never marry a cheapskate.

thank your lucky stars she is not the opposite. This is where a compromise would be useful. Besides, a home ia a much better investment than a mobile home. Maybe you could spin it like that, However, you do not need a McMansion.

What do you mean I am lucky?
She goes above and beyond her cheapness my wife even takes her friends unwanted clothes just because they're free.

If your wife was the type that would run up all your credit cards on expensive clothing and designer handbags you would be much worse off.

More than cheap, she sounds frugal, which is a different thing. That said, talk to her and try to find a compromise.

Bro I my advice when you decide to ask a woman for marriage please think twice if she's a cheapskate.

Be thankful that she doesn't spend all that you make and more.

What do you mean be thankful?
My wife goes above and beyond level of cheapness.
She goes to the extreme of taking her friends unwanted clothes.

She could be like a lot of wives and spend every penny you make and on top of that take out multiple credit cards and max them out. I deal with divorces frequently that occur over just this type of thing.

Why not compromise. Get something middle ground.
