[quote=Anonymous]OP - your situation feels so familiar to me. My wife would start fixating on some house thing that "needed" done -- where I couldn't see that it would improve our quality of life at all. Part of it is just how I'm wired. The color of the walls is never, ever going to be something that makes me feel better or worse about life. But, she'd be restless until whatever change she wanted was made.

Ultimately, my main concern was the money. And it wasn't necessarily any given project. Any one thing individually was manageable. It had more to do with my anxiety that there was no end point -- and my wife never gave me the impression that she was paying any attention at all to the overall financial picture. She wants something. The check won't bounce. She buys something.

Over the years, we got better at budgeting. We should've done it much sooner. It also helped that the business she started eventually started pulling in a lot more money which took some pressure off of the finances. [/quote]
