[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. For those of you going on about Starbucks or even $1000 purses, our problem is much bigger than that. I could bury my head in the sand if it were a couple of thousand dollars of discretionary spending. My spouse is taking out significant debt to finance non-essential things I don't value. My need for financial security directly conflicts with their need to spend (finance) big-ticket items I don't value. They believe things will work out, income will continue to grow, and illiquid investments will pay off. I am holding them back, and they are causing me anxiety. [/quote] In that case, it sounds like you may need therapy OP. Find someone you and DH can both trust. There might be an underlying issue for his overspending. But, this is causing you anxiety, so it seems worth the extra expense to me. Burying your head in the sand isn't the way to cope. GL![/quote]
