[quote=Anonymous]OP I think it’s a terrible idea to try to impose your vision of “necessary” or whatever on your DH. It’s a recipe for conflict and it’s not even a good way to achieve your financial goals. The part you agree on is the budget. You agree on it separately and disconnected from any conversation about any particular thing like a grill or whatever. The budget includes discretionary pots for each adult. If he is running over his discretionary budget, you don’t argue about what the thing was and whether or not it’s valid. You just go back to the budget. We went over. Should we make the discretionary budget bigger? What does that mean for our plan and our goals? You can’t be in the business of policing each other’s decisions. You’re a team on the budget. You’re not the shopping police. [/quote]
