My money is my husband's money and vice versa. We tell each other when we spend it. I haven't had to do this myself, but my husband is a Vietnamese war refugee and has always sent money back to his home country, to support the descendants of relatives who were stuck there. Currently he and his brothers are paying for law school for one of their nieces, whom they've never even met in person! I don't even know to whom the rest of the money goes, but they send the money to their mother, who sends a large check to Vietnam.

It seems you and your husband are not a team here. You should be. Don't be scared or ashamed. This is a totally legitimate and morally-appropriate expense.[/quote]

OP here. Well of course, his money is my money and mine is his. But I earn an income and so does he. I do not feel like my family is entitled to his income but they are to mine, if that makes sense? I do not think my husband has to part with his income on my family's behalf unless he wants to. [/quote]
