how can i convince a husband who wastes money that he has to save a bit, without acting the mother for him?

Answer 1

you could consider asking your husband if the two of you could get together and discuss your budget.

go over the bills and your income... let him know you think the two of you could save "X" amount a month, and then suggest starting a monthly savings.

this might help, without pointing out he's spending too much.

i hope you get good answers here.

Answer 2

Tell him when he blows all his money and has nothing to show for it, don't come crying to you about it.
