Budgeting or spending

[wurlycurly]

My dh quit his job a few months back. We won't suffer financially in the short term because we have money in a pension pot. We rent and our Ds is in year 10. I work but don't earn much money. I'm now working full time. Dh quit without telling me. I want to economise but dh says there is no need. He spends what he wants and I am scraping around trying to save money and growing more resentful as he spends as I work. I feel uneasy spending if we are running on a deficit
Yabu: spend away
Yanbu: rein it in and save

Do you mean you're living off a pension? Are you pension age?

Is he looking to get another job?

What savings do you have?

He is spending his pension pot?!?!?!

If he isn't working then you need to budget and not over spend.

He needs to get a job!

using money in a pension pot should be your absolute last resort!

Hi @wurlycurly
Yanbu, rein it in and save x
I wouldn't touch the pension pot, ideally it would be better if your husband gets a job asap.

He is trying to find work! But he is sort of viewing his career break as a holiday and I'm panicking a bit (a fair bit)

Isn't there penalties withdrawing money from pension pot?

It's not a 'pension' it's money invested for the future iyswim
