Well he doesn’t openly hate it - but he refuses to admit he needs to be a bit more free and enjoy what he earns.
Background, we own our house (have a Mortgage), have an emergency fund and seperate savings etc.
DP takes home c.£3000 a month. He spends c. £1000 a month on his share of the Mortgage, bills, his car/gym membership etc.
He then budgets about £100 a week for food and £50 for social e.g if we go for a meal or see friends etc.
He then saves the remainder so at least a third of his take home.
He only buys clothes if he really needs new ones and never treats himself for gadgets or any bigger purchases. It’s a bit of a stretch to him to want to spend a load of money on a weekend away as that comes out of his savings pot.
Am I being unreasonable to suggest he should just be a bit more ‘free’ and enjoy his money? He can still save at the same time.
