[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You better get on the same page about money before you take your relationship to the next level.

Do you always listen to your Dad with financial decisions?[/quote]

OP here. No. My dad doesn’t give me much financial advice except for when I was young. She asked him about remodeling because he used to do construction as a side business. She wants to spend about $20k with two bath remodels and he told her not to do it. She is look at expensive stuff like marble and floating tubs for a condo in the $300k range. She will be wasting her money. [/quote]

You seem really fixated on what she does with HER money. 
She’s allowed to listen to you and decide that’s not what she’s going to do with HER money.
You bringing up your Dad doesn’t make you correct. It’s HER money and she’s allowed to value what she wants to.  
It’s YOUR OPINION that she’s wasting her money and she doesn’t have do what you or your Dad think is “correct”.
 
Looking at your writing and fixation, it seems to me that you feel she volunteered to “submit” to you by agreeing to move in with you and thus you feel entitled to tell her how to spend her money. If any part of this is true, break up. If your thinking this way, I would tell my own daughter to RUN as this line of thinking allows men to be ok abusing women.[/quote]

OP here. None of this is true. I’m not looking for her to “ submit” to me. I like that she is a strong woman. My issue is with her complaining to me everyday about it but won’t take any advice. When I do offer or she asks for advice, she never takes it. If she doesn’t want any advice, she needs to stop complaining about it. She complains how much work and money she is spending. I’m just tired of hearing about it.[/quote]
