Apart for the kids, who need clothes regularly as they grow, I agree there is no use in buying clothes every year too.

  Depending your bf/gf, spouse, social/peer pressure and giving into them. I have broken up with a girlfriend because her hobby was shopping and mine was running. She couldn't understand what I needed ONE GOOD pair of running shoes, and the shoes didn't have to match the colour of my running shorts. I hope she is happy with someone else, but as far away from me as possible. Some other people would accept some "character adaptation" to be with a bf/gf and I wish them all the best!

    was this a dealbreaker for her or for you? for me, I generally don't care how the other person spends their money as long as they can pay their share of fixed costs we have agreed on. this might be in part because I don't want to invite questions about my computer budget ;)

      If you're married to someone, you still separate your finances? That boggles my mind.

        My parents have been happily married for over three decades with separate finances.

        Can’t speak for others, but in France, you are partially responsible of the loss of your company (for example). My wife and I are married with a full separation of goods and possessions contract. Not because we don’t want to make financial choices together, but more to protect her for the possibility of me being ruined if my company fells. When she was working, we agreed on the money we each put in the family budget for groceries, kids stuff, etc... Never been a problem.
