[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several thousand a month on treats is not reasonable. I like the idea of sitting down with both of them, and do it with a family therapist if you need to, and try to get everyone on the same page.

Is the college fund for your younger child fully funded?

To the PP who said that a $12 smoothie at Jamba Juice after the gym is not a treat: I’m guessing you don’t watch your pennies and did not grow up having to watch your pennies[/quote]

This is a good idea. Ugh. But yes.

No, college for the youngest is NOT fully funded! At least not for all of the potential school options. And I’d much rather dc have more options for college than several years of wasteful spending on garbage.

My dh definitely allots money with love/happiness. His family growing up had extremely dysfunctional spending habits. Feast or famine lifestyle. When they had money, they spent it wildly. I’m sure in his mind, dh thinks he’s conservative because he is not as extreme (think buying a brand new Ferrari during the ‘good’ years, that sort of thing). [/quote]
