[quote=Anonymous]My husband spends money irresponsibly as well. He believes that he works hard and therefore he "deserves" this or that. It's not always very expensive things (though sometimes it really is), but the little things (Amazon things on Kindle, this or that on iTunes, a cab ride here or there, etc.) are adding up to ~$250/mo. We sat down with the budget and I circled numbers. "This is how much money we have coming in, these are expenses that we have to pay, no matter what." I told him that there are things that we can cut from our budget if it's really important to him to be spending $250 on incidentals, but that if he feels like he doesn't want to trim the budget at all and also doesn't want to stop spending, his only option is to make more money. His response was actually to take on a couple of very part time consulting gigs.[/quote]
