I have a frugal husband, too, but also one who tries hard to ignore problems unless they interfere with his daily life.
He was a war refugee as a kid, but the same experience has not had the same effect on his brothers.

The first step was to get a joint account!

The second step is to take the lead on things that I feel have to be paid for because otherwise they will become even more expensive headaches later: home and car maintenance and repairs, doing adequate research to find the best service or part for a reasonable price, etc... Same mindset for our health (eat healthy now, pay less medical bills later), or education (pay for psychological evaluations and treat ADHD now, instead of having child fail before picking up the pieces).

Forget about gifts or pampering or that kind of crap. I'm talking about basic necessities here.

OP here. I’m sorry. That sounds much tougher than what I am dealing with. We have all joint accounts. I have (in theory) full access to the money.[/quote]
