    That's easy. I'll be by tonight to pick it up. Any more out there that need to send money home?

    I do believe you have enough info to safely transfer money home. Just watch the cost.

    If you have direct deposit you can do an electronic funds transfer through mobile banking just like writing her a check to her account.

    My wife and I have never had a joint account on anything other than one mortgage in 27 years. It boggles my mind that any adult human being would put themselves in the position of asking someone else for permission to spend the money that they make.

    We have never had an argument about money. You either have the money to do something, or you don't. What in the hell is there to argue about? We divided our expenses and it is our obligation to meet them. If there is an issue, we help each other out.

    I cannot fathom why people intentionally set themselves up to be at each other's throats over expenses and finances. It makes no sense.

    If you both have checking accounts, and are on Facebook, you can send money (free) thru FB Messenger.

    So my wife can stay home and raise our kids. She doesn't ask for money neither do I. My income is OUR INCOME, it pays OUR BILLS. We made the decision for her to stay home.
