[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were your mediator I’d say:
-Buy your organic food/vegetables.
-Don’t take out any student loans unless it increases your earning potential and you can commit to staying in the workforce. Take some online classes on coursera instead. You want to contribute to the financial health of the relationship and student loans could make that very difficult. 
-Buy some used art.
-Try to travel affordably. Visit friends/family in other cities. Drive instead of fly. Convince him to go on one trip rather than making it about keeping up with friends who travel often.

Your DH sounds reasonable to me honestly. Have you considered finding more stable work to bring in a more consistent income? It’s alot easier to win this argument with your DH if you start bringing in more money.[/quote]

Bingo! Her DH is probably like this because she doesn’t bring in a decent consistent income and he probably feels an unproportionate share of the burden. That combined with him being more frugal than her = trouble. Neither of you is wrong, per se, but your issue is that your goals are not compatible and you don’t seem to be an equal financial contributor in trying to make this “better” life for yourselves.
