its the basis of at least three phone conversations a week. Talk about frustration. Why do they ruin a wonderful phone call like that?

I think because they feel so disconnected and like they have no control.

logically I understand that, but it still is upsetting. Apparently he would rather pay off CC than put money away in a savings acct.

Well, it will work the same way. If you pay off CC, then you will save interest money and it will be paid off. And then you can put $ in

savings.

I would always recommend paying off cc. Just life experience.

but then we would have no back up security blanket. I prefer having at least 2,000 savings as a backup. The CC are getting paidof

just not as quickly as they would if I took a cool 1000 towards one at a time. I think we resolved things on the phone.

He is just a bit jealous of my spending his money on fabric. He wishes he could spend his money. I think that is what the root of all this

After I said he could use the savings and buy something for him since he is jealous of my spending on fabric- the argument was over

Well, they do resent the fact that they are working and basically have no way of using the resources they are working for.
