Alice knows exactly what i spend, the dealing and wheeling as she calls it, and, she also spends on what she wants.

Here, here, Leon!
Surely partners who care about each other will support each other as they each pursue their bliss?!! My wife has ZERO interest in astronomy, but is very happy that I have something that brings me such pleasure.
With spending, it is all about choice. Choosing to buy a premium EP, for example, must necessary involve choosing NOT to buy something else. So long as we take responsibility for these choices, it is all good.
If I took no responsibility with my spending, and bought astronomical goods when I could not afford to do so, and therefore was causing my family to miss out on what they needed, then I would be letting myself down, just as much as letting my family down.
