H just emailed me about the tiny clown car idea again, apparently there's a promotion through the city he works for and he asked what I thought about buying this new car and giving it to d15 when she's driving next year. It's an all electronic car & he said he'd have a charging station installed at house for d15. He said he 'may have trouble charging it anyways depending on where he's living'.
I lightly mentioned the college thing last weekend and it was, as I suspected, whatever d18 wants. He said, she knows how much we've agreed to pay. Her decision after that.
A couple years down the road and I don't care what he drives or how he pays for it. His problem. But now, with nothing filed and us still financially linked, I'd really like to be prudent about any financial decisions and error on the side of caution. I'd like to know how he's planning on paying for the car and not have it effect me.
But on the other hand, I really c*ck blocked his decision making capabilities in the past. And, if we were staying together, would have to get d15 a car anyways. If we were not together, I'd have to find something used and really cheap I could afford with his input.
Since he'a left, H's been very responsible money wise (to my knowledge). But once he moves out of his friends house and gets a place of this own, it's going to come out of my pocket and Im worried about adding on a car payment.
So how do I handle this? Act as if we have a future and hope for the best? Try to advise against making any financial decisions and say no?
I appreciate him bringing up the idea and would like to be part of the decision making process. How to do it on db terms?
