Interesting, when I first started reading this thread, my initial thought was, "hmm - sounds like she's got herself a control freak" but then I got to your post about the healthy discussion you had with him, and definitely that made me consider it a very different way. If he has a spend-crazy mother, than I can see how that is a concern for him. The fact that he gets mad when he sees you spending, without knowing if you are in dept for example, might just mean that he is brought to emotion because of his contrast between the fact that he loves you, but he is concerned because he knows he doesn't want somebody who spends without regard to debt or saving, etc, which he values. Sounds to me like you are doing just fine by communicating with him.

If you want to rack up huge amounts of debt... it is still none of his business.

This statement I totally disagree with, if in fact you are considering marrying this guy. Most domestic fights in this country start out about money. Going into a marriage without discussing money values, including comfort levels regarding debt and savings, is just plain dumb.
