[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 112284, member: 412"] Of course not, you don't let her or the kiddo suffer, but, it's time to sit down and re-hash the 'ol budget again. Emergencies happen, kids to the hospital, cars need repair, etc, etc, etc, that's what savings accounts/slush funds are for. But, if someone is continually not following their part of the budget, then you sit down together and figure out why. Can recall early in marriage momma was talkin' new/newer car. So we sit down and look at all income/outgo and that's when I find an outstanding CC balance. No new car 'til that's paid off. It got paid off about 3x quicker than she deemed possible when the car was hanging in the balance so to speak and there hasn't been an outstanding CC balance ever since. I've foregone trips, guns, rods/reels, sales on crank baits and all other sorts of things I'd like to have had/done when my fun money fund was too low as well. 2-way street, open and honest is the only way things work long term.
