[quote=Anonymous]So is this a situation where your husband makes $650K and you make the balance? Or are you all pretty equal as far as what you're contributing to the HHI? Either way, your husband is cheap, period. But the former would give you more authority at least. I would suggest that you sit down with him and discuss setting up a discretionary spending account that you can control. At that HHI, as long as your bills are paid and you're meeting retirement and savings' goals, I would say about $40-50k/year. But you get to spend it however you like. If that's vacations, cashmere sweaters, headstand lessons for the kids, a cleaning service, etc, that's your business *in my Tabitha Brown voice* I won't assume you work hard, but you work for your money, and it seems sucky that you can't spend some of it to make life a little better or more enjoyable when you're not working. Something would have to give. [/quote]
