[quote=Anonymous]Okay, enough people have harped on the issue of the recalcitrant parents and the lack of marital negotiation. So, if your husband is dead set on this and insists that he needs to do this, then you need to say that if you two are going to commit to this, then he needs to find a way to replenish the savings that are being used to pay for this. If he gets coffee in the morning on the way to work, he has to cut that out. If he buys lunch, he'll need to start brown-bagging. Lose cable, cut back on the cell plan, etc. He'll have to give something up to save that money and pay it back. Look for ways to save a little more. Even if it is just $100-150 per month, after a year, you'll have paid the savings back and have your vacation fund back. Make him understand that if he wants to use the nuclear option of insisting that family funds be used in a way you don't agree with, that he'll have to make sacrifices to pay it back.[/quote]
