Melissa Gorga spilled a whole lot of tea about herself and her husband during a recent appearance on *Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen*. *The Real Housewives of New Jersey* star appeared on the April 14 episode of WWHL where she revealed if her husband, Joe Gorga, ever put her on a shopping allowance, and how much of Joe’s money she used to spend a month before becoming a housewife and making her own dough. WWHL host Andy Cohen asked the Envy boutique owner if Joe ever put her on a shopping allowance. *“No. Never,”* Melissa admitted. *“He knows that I’m pretty reasonable in that area.”* Andy then asked how much Melissa would spend without getting permission from Joe. Per Melissa, she used to spend an outlandish amount of money and Joe didn’t care at all. *“Right now, anything I want because I make money as well. Back then I used to spend on the AmEx, probably like $20,000, $30,000 a month or something, and he never said anything,”* Melissa confessed. Meanwhile, Melissa also revealed that Joe isn’t nearly as demanding in the bedroom as he used to be. *“Not anymore. I think that was when we were younger he would say more about that,”* Melissa said of her husband’s sex demands and need to release his *“poison.”* She added, *“Now he knows that doesn’t fly anymore. So not as much as he used to.”* RHONJ airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm EST on BRAVO. ## Thoughts on Melissa’s comment? Are you surprised Melissa would spend so much money a month?
