[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have different priorities. Mine is home, his is cars. We agree on a budget for each of those things, and within that budget - there are no questions about spending it. We might ask for input on style or comfort, etc, but the money is earmarked to be spent. It doesn't necessarily mean the budgets are the same amount, but it's an amount both people feel is fair. For us, home improvements are budgeted about $4,000/year, and DH has a "rolling" $10K car fun-money budget, but it doesn't get spent down every year, so over the course of a decade, it's probably about the same being spent on home improvements vs car improvements. Don't just do it and then have him throw a fit. Use this as a way to improve your relationship, not damage it further. I recommend some of John Gottman's work on how to get through disagreements in a healthy manner. [/quote]
