महाभारत - शान्ति - स्त्री वित्तं

उत्तमं स्वार्जितं भुक्तं मध्यमं पितुरार्जितम् ।
कनिष्ठं भ्रातृवित्तं च स्त्रीवित्तमधमाधमम् ॥

A virtuous person will earn and spend his own money. A normal person will spend his father's money. A lowly person will spend his brother's money. A rogue among rogues will spend money that belongs to a lady.
