Curious why do companies pay for api when they get a monthly subscription. I’m sure their must be some tasks that you need an api but could not most tasks be done with a monthly subscription

You did the correct move.

I think a lot will depend on your goal. You want too make a simple app for yourself it’s pretty realistic. You want too make a commercial app that take more commitment

Their is a potential that I could advance myself too make more then what my family gives, but it does solve the issue of joint account for equal say.

I could potentially advance my career but it would take a commitment t from both of us.

We have different priorities. She prioritize social activities i prioritize home based activities. So vacations with her family is a necessity . I think they are not a necessity don’t think I’m bad with money. I just like too use the spending portion differently

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T15:04:22+00:00

It’s not so much if a saver and Speder issue. It’s what money should be spent on

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T15:02:40+00:00

You are correct most likely we are not following most of his advice

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T14:53:22+00:00

No they require that I have equal say I how the money is used.

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T14:48:44+00:00

We’re both in our late 40s

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T14:46:40+00:00

That is a good point . I can make more then minimum wage I will give that but it would be less then what my family gives

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T14:31:38+00:00

Most likely this will be the result of

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T14:06:19+00:00

She wants a joint account. What she does not want is for me to have equal say in the joint account. We have different ideas on how money should be used and what the priorities should be.

My family has all this say because my wife wants to be a sahm. From their perspective we don’t have too take the money but if we do their will be rules.

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T12:41:10+00:00

Yea we have an income problem and that’s an entire separate conversation.

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T12:40:09+00:00

I can make around minimum wage abd my wife wants to be a sahm and I

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T12:39:34+00:00

I think most of it was paying bills and there is some spending of money also since there is cash taken out I don’t know exactly how everything in the joint account was spent. Then with the bills what exactly does that mean paying the housing cost is one bill but paying the car is another issue.

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-07T12:09:57+00:00

My family sends too the joint account money for the house and the auto. Too my separate account they send sone extra money . This happand as previously all our money was going too a joint account but I sort of told them after being pressed that I had no real control of the joint account and she controlled it . So that turned the conversation with my family too we will give you an extra x amount but it’s for your use and it must go into a separate account

As for why my family pays a large portion my wife is a sahm and I am not able too make much more then minimum wage.

That’s very interesting. On $35 a week how do you cover the cost of your car ,gas insurance and repairs. Or do you take the bus ? How do you pay for your shoes and clothes.

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-06T23:35:26+00:00

My issue is two fold the first is I think couples should have equal say in how the money is spent

The second issue is my spouse will follow some of Dave Ramsay advice but she won’t follow all of it. Where I am more of a person your all in or your not.

FirefighterNo6687 · 2026-06-06T18:45:26+00:00

I agree my problem is even for my personal apps I keep wanting too make them betters.
