I usually support my husband in EVERYTHING that he does but enough is enough. He just bought a 2007 Cadillic Escalade about a month ago. I knew that we were going to get a new SUV, but we were looking at 2007 demos...Well I had the opportunity to drive it for the first time and I was getting something out of the glove box and I decided t look at the financing paper work just to see. Well, the truck is a 2007 and it was almost $70,000. He keeps telling me that he got a good deal and we can afford it. I am not working and we have 5 children in private school. I am so worried that we cannot afford our new vehicle. I don't know why he didn't talk to me about this, but this explains why he bought it on his way home from work. What I am trying to say is I would rather have a larger house with a used CHEAPER Cadillic. I wish there was something that I could do about this. I am actually angry. This will be our FIRST fight because he lied to me. Any advice on which way I should go.....

We talked about buying a new SUV and I knew that it would be an Escalade. I was also under the impression that it would be about $50,000 before the trade ins and money down....

I can understand your anger. However, what are you angry about? Are you angry because he did this without consulting you? I would be too. Are you angry because you can't afford it? I would be angry too. But you made the statement that you would rather have a larger house and a cheaper SUV. That does not sound like you can't afford it. It sounds like you did not like his choice that he made. Since he is pulling the load, paying for 5 kinds in private school etc. There should be no issue here. Express your anger at not being included in the decision and then move on.

Squirrel away some cash for when you two get divorced, you are well on your way.
There is no way that my hubby would do something like that, and neither would I. We make all financial decisions together, that is because we are a partnership. How long have you been with this guy? Did he always do stupid things like this?

Don't fight. Ask him what happened. Don't rag on him about something that is already done. My guess is that he stopped by the dealership and got talked into something. Why throw it in his face?

Let him enjoy his new car. If he is providing you with such a comfortable life, you don't work, your kids are all in private school, stop complaining. He's paying for it.

surely he didn't finance $70k for a car.. imagine what its worth right now... already worth 5k less than it cost.
save your pennies dear, you're headed for a divorce due to stupid financial decisions by your inconsiderate husband.

Yes, I think he paid too much, sorry to tell you.
