Nitaf...don't get me started on H and HIS spending habits...my H is out of control and has never been in control of money. He has never paid anything early in his life. Before we were married, the "bills" were the last on his list to pay! Now I pay them and request the cashola back as I pay bills first.

If you use money to find happiness, you have to spend and spend and spend. My H just doesn't get that happiness comes from within. He is now intent on buying a $30,000+ bass boat!! A few weeks ago, he thought we should buy a new house.

Sunday he was complaining about how in debt he was and a few minutes later he's on the phone ordering some items from Cabela with a CC!!!

Financial security is important to me, it's one of my LL's I guess. And this is a huge issue with H as we have no financial security unless you count the equity in our house. My H's reason for not saving now is that his pension is going to be more than he makes now, but he doesn't realize he has to pay off his CC's first and LIVE to enjoy his retirement. His health isn't the best or should I say he doesn't take care of his health, the alcohol is going to catch up at some point.\

I think his issues are projected onto me a lot of time..and I'm not biting.

Sorry for venting, but I was thinking about this just last night and that this might be another one of my "must haves" in a M
