My husband and I have been married a little over a year, and he is the sole provider of the house, since he is the only one that works. Oh, and we have no kids. We recently received our income tax return, which was one thousand dollars, and our first plan was to pay off a cash advance loan, which is 500, and save 300, then have 200 for us to spend. He is from Iraq, so he likes to help out his family when he can, and send some money over, and now he just told me he wants to send 300 dollars to his sister. I don't mind him sending money over, but we really arent at our best financially, have about 7k in credit card debt, and we live from paycheck to paycheck, and let me tell you, his check is sometimes 600 dollars, every two weeks, and that is HARD to stretch out. Ok, so my question is, should I tell him to wait a little longer to send the money, and save up, or should I let him do as he wants? I am the only that usually handles the money, so shouldn't I have a say in this?
