[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you spend money on clothing, makeup, etc?  I am pretty frugal, so is DH. We don't spend that much, just, as you say, a lot on vacation splurges. Cars are always paid in cash.

However, DH likes his wine.  So he spends a few hundred on them a month.  They are not expensive wines.  It's his one splurge, which compared to our HHI, isn't that much. If they were expensive, then I'd say something.

I splurge once in a while on pricier makeup, some shoes (normally on sale but still adds up).  Every so often I get a new handbag, sunglasses, again usually under $50.  It's not every month, but it adds up. He, on the other hand, doesn't spend on things like that.

We each have our little splurges, and relative to our HHI, they are little splurges.

If the splurges are reasonable, ie, eating lunch out at Chilis, let him have that.  What is he splurging on Amazon?  We get books, stuff for the house, etc.  NP with those.

I understand where you're coming from.  Like I said, I am very frugal, but people need to enjoy the fruits of their labor.  So, really, don't sweat the little splurges.  If the shopping at Amazon is getting out of hand, then talk to him about how you feel.[/quote]
