[quote=Anonymous]I would have more conversations with him about his end goal with all that money. What is he saving for? College and graduate school for 4 kids? Retirement for you and him? Future medical expenses? Early retirement? Paying off mortgage and debt? Money to take care of his parents and in-laws? Money to build generational wealth? Sounds like he is shouldering a lot of the financial burden and a seven figure income while it sounds like a lot may not be after taxes. I would ask him to run the numbers for you so you can understand how much he thinks he needs to save before he feels comfortable taking vacations and spending money... the truth is generational wealth is often built by cheap workaholics. However, I completely understand where you are coming from and I agree with the others that say once your youngest enters school, you should go back to work. Even if your money goes in the joint account, just like he can spend his money as he pleases, you should be able to spend the money you earn as you please. Tell him you’re giving him a weekend of peace by taking the kids on a trip and go take your vacation.[/quote]
