[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years. We are both divorced and in our 40s.

After moving in together I found out he had not saved for retirement. He has started, is maxing out his accounts but he is far behind me and will have to work into his 60s. I have more from my divorce but wish for it to go to the kids.

He was in a physically demanding job and I suggested he make a plan to transition once his body started aging. He got a new certification and is working on his side hustle. He needs new equipment for the side hustle and this past weekend asked to borrow some from me, which I had offered previously.

However, last month we had just planned a big summer vacation, which is now largely paid for. I am annoyed because if I knew his large purchase was coming up, I would’ve suggested a closer and less expensive summer vacation.

His lack of planning is making me really annoyed. He basically will do things if I tell him to, and lives frugally and within his means. But he doesn’t have the capacity to plan ahead and think of these things on his own.

He helps out as a life partner in every other way, is very kind, my kids adore him. This is the only area I get stressed about. What can I do? [/quote]

Sorry OP you left a man-child for another one.[/quote]
