[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So the Y is nearly free with your discount,[/b] PLUS has an outdoor pool for summer, PLUS is within 5 min from your house PLUS has childcare...?

This is a no-brainer.  No way should you also pay $200 plus a month for Lifetime on a 100k one parent salary [/quote]

Read again.  He only gets the discount at the Y by his job, which he currently uses, that is a different Y than the one he's moving near that has a pool.  So no more discount.  [/quote]

So whats the cost difference, $80 for family vs $210 for only her and the kids? Still seems like a waste.  They can pay $80 for all of them at the new Y that is across from their house, that has mostly the same amenities plus he can go too and they can swim as family on the weekends and in the summer.  [/quote]

It's not the same amenities.  She said she doesn't like the co-ed steam rooms, she likes that there are other SAHM at the gym she attends and that she will not use the Y like she uses Lifetime.  So it's 80 to benefit him and him alone, or $210 to benefit the whole family.  This is a line item in the budget they are already paying, and he wants to change it on her.  Her arguments are persuasive and he's doubling down because he does not see that this is a stupid thing to fight about.  Even at a $140k HHI, your kids getting to swim 3 times a week and your wife getting some say in how she spends her time has value far above the $130/month you're so hung up on.[/quote]
