[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Thanks PP for the tip re YNAB software.  I will look into that.

Oh, and to the PP who said to stop nagging DH, I had to laugh.  So interesting how much people read into the situation.  DH and I have barely even had one conversation about funeral travel.  His grandfather has not died yet, but it does not look good.

I don't want DH to regret not going, and he will most likely go & we will just adjust our spending/family vacation as needed.  [b]But for my own piece of mind I want to get a budget in place so that I have a better sense of what the numbers mean.  (Whether I need to worry about $2000 expenditure or not).[/b]

I think some of you may not have experienced the situation where family is overseas.  The reality of it is that it is not possible to be there for every event that you would be there for if the family lived closer.  There are choices all the time.  We do not have the kind of money needed to fly overseas multiple times per year on a regular basis.

OP, I feel you but I am seriously questioning how you are not aware of whether you need to worry about $2000 or not. How do you have literally no budget or idea of where you are financially? That's the real red flag here. Also, yes, you sound resenful. Presuming this is a case of DH having moved away from his family and not the other way around, your coldness toward this situation is weird and unwarrented.[/quote]
