How do you get money from a miser husband?

Be blunt and remind him that if he doesn't stop being so miserly that you can fix that quick enough by divorce because in many States and in all Provinces of Canada a woman gets half (including her husband's pension) once divorced! That should put a cork in his bottom! If he is going to harp at you for every little thing you buy then you might as well buy what you need (within reason) because you're going to have to listen to him yapping at you about the money you spent anyway. If you aren't working then work part-time and save your own nest egg. If he doles out money for you to go grocery shopping then be frugal and save some of that money for your nest egg. Don't let him control your whole life because you should each be independent of each other. When buying big ticket items it's advisable to discuss this with your mate.
