[quote=Anonymous]I agree that you and your husband need to agree on some basic rules around how you spend your money and what thresholds are set for discussing it first. In our house we have a $300 threshold - if it's less than $300 we spend it as we wish. If it's more than $300 we discuss it. That same cut off applies regardless of the outlay (except for emergencies of course, or things like car repair, doctor bills etc...) For any gift of money to a family or friend we would discuss it and would not do it unless or until both of us agreed, even if reluctant. Sometimes we chafe a bit at the restrictions (me especially) but they serve us well. So you need to have a conversation like this w/ your husband. There are lots of ways to solve this - just find one that feels right to both of you.[/quote]
