How could I? MY money and HER money are the same thing.

Besides, neither of us has the authority to make a purchase like that without talking to the other about it.

I would FLIP if she did that for me. Even though with the best of intentions. We are in good financial shape.

It's not HER money or MY money, it's OUR money, and all major purchases are carefully and dispassionately discussed before they're made. In fact, she's due a replacement for her present vehicle, and will begin shopping for one this spring. When she finds what she wants, we'll both go look, talk about her needs and whether her choice will meet them properly and economically - and by July she'll have a newer vehicle.

Define my "own money."

I make all the money in our family. My wife owns a home business that looses (on average) $30 a month. What would constitute my "own money?" Do I suddenly get an allowance for being the bread winner?

Before we were married, I never bought her anything as large as a vehicle. Power tools, but no vehicles. So that would be a no for my "own money" before we were married. Since being married, we did buy her a car. The occasion was she started her business and needed to be able to get arround. But I don't know if that counts as my "own money." It wasn't a present, we went shopping for cars together, she found one in the price range we wanted she liked, and we bought it. So I guess since I make all the money in the house, yeah, I bought it with my own money... but that would mean she's never bought me anything with her "own money" since we've been married. She married me with a few thousand dollars in debt, bearly a hundred dollars in the bank. I'm not complaining, I don't care, I'm just trying to figure out how your question can possibly apply.
