I just got a job in my field and I already got promoted within two weeks of starting. I make good money and I just got my first paycheck and I've been living with my boyfriend for a year and I wasn't working when we first moved in, I was in school so that was from last September and ended in January. I worked maybe two days a week for three hours at an assisted living barely making any money but I gave him $50 here and there, I gave him majority of my income tax money and a few weeks ago I gave him $100 towards the bills, because that's all I could push. Now I'm making a lot lot lot more and he told me he wants my whole paychecks to go into his account, and if I need money, I have to ask and he'll leave it for me. That doesn't sound right at all to me, I mean I know I have to pay up my part of him supporting me for the past year, him being the bread winner and all but I told him I'd give him a set amount each week but he wants it ALL. I told him I have been wanting to get my nails done for a long time now and he told me, "you just started bringing in money, we need to save, don't even think about getting your nails done for a long time". I never treat myself. I'm running here and there between jobs, cleaning our house, making sure his laundry is clean and ready for him in the morning, dishes done, dog fed, the only thing I don't do is dinner, because I get home at 8pm and he is home and fed before me. Oh, and he makes a shit ton of money... we aren't living pay check to pay check, I'm talking like 4K a month he's bringing in. He said if I don't give him the money, he's kicking me out and I can go live back with my parents. Technically, if I need something or want to go buy something, I need approval and he will give me money. Does anyone have any budgeting tips or ways we can handle this without him bugging the fuck out when I get a little upset about being treated like a child with a fucking allowance?
