A few months ago DH found out that via his parents he would inherit so money from a deceased relative. Basically his mum inherited a lot and decided to pass some on to her three children now. We are very pleased and start making joint plans on how to spend the money. I suggest we sort out isa's etc so that the money can be tax efficient while we make the plans.
Fast forward to last night and we start talking about new cars, I mention that when the money comes in we can start looking at a newer car for DH as his needs replacing. He mentions he has had the money for a few weeks and its just sat in an account. Apparently I've been too busy to tell.
We have just had a week away and he didn't find the time to mention he has a lot of money sat in an account for doing nothing? The tax year as just past - we could have utilised 2 tax years of ISA savings.
I 'do' the money in our relationship and neither of us are big spenders but surely he could have mentioned it before now? We spent Sunday looking around for the best price for a few new kitchen tiles when we had a lot of money just hanging around.
Am I justified in being a little cross??
