My husband is a full-time student and I am the main breadwinner right now. I like to enjoy treats and nights out once in awhile, however I feel like he is out of control and it makes me resentful. I handle all of the finances and bill paying because I actually enjoy it, and he gets frustrated with numbers. He will often spend over $500 a month on extras, CDs, DVDs, Lunches out. I buy things occasionally, but I pack a lunch and limit myself to $50 a month for something extra for me. I have tried asking him to set a limit but he thinks I am trying to be controling and says he hates that he has to ask for money. I would not mind if he bought a DVD here and there or even went out to lunch once a week, but his spending habits are killing us!! I have been postponing a vacation because we can't save enough. I feel a little cheated, I work very hard and work like to enjoy things more too, when I tell him this he says i need to loosen up and just enjoy, spend whatever, but I just don't feel
