AGAIN AND AGAIN
SO I THOUGHT I WOULD PLAN A BIG CELEBRATION. MY HUBBY EVEN AGREED. THIS MORNING HE IS TELLING ME THAT IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH AND HE DOESN’T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!
I AM SO ANGRY, FRUSTRATED AND UPSET! I WILL JUST DROP IT AS I ALWAYS DO BECAUSE I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME UNDERSTAND OUR FINANCES AND NEVER WILL. I WILL NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN AND CAN’T AFFORD.
I SPOKE TO HIS SISTER ABOUT MAKING THE PARTY. NOW I WILL TELL HER THAT WE CHANGED OUR MIND. DO I TELL HER IT’S BECAUSE HER BROTHER SAYS WE CAN’T AFFORD IT?????????????
HOW DO I EVER GET TO UNDERSTAND OUR FINANCES? HE’S TRIES TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME BUT IT’S LIKE GIBBERISH. I ALWAYS WANT TO ASK THE ADVICE OF A THIRD PARTY BUT HE DOESN’T AGREE.
TIME FOR THE WII.
Well if he says you can’t afford it makes sense not to do it.

you should take the time to sit down and learn about your finances. Not sure why that is so hard? It is simple math. Money coming in minus money going out equals what you have to spend. Sounds like your hubby is a saver and you are a spender. These days it is better to save then spend so I have to side with your hubby on this one. Is there anyway you can do a pot luck kind of thing so everyone cancontribute…then it won’t be just one family spending all the money.

It’s obvious how important these parties are to you, so I can imagine how disappointed you are. What if you ask hubby to give you a monthly spending amount? You can choose to spend it on parties, save it up for the next party, scrapbooking material, e-books, whatever you want. But at least you’ll know what you are working with. Would that work?

I hate being in the dark when it comes to finances, so I can understand your frustration. *hugs*

A potlach is a lot of fun. Food always tastes better made by others, and they will take the remains home with them along with the unwashed pans and casserole dishes. You get to put your feet up, enjoy your family, have a nice meal, and have even more cash for your cruise. Your husband sure sounds like he knows what he’s doing.
