[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 262542, member: 3907"] Daisy, I agree with Lisa. It's not so much that husband has a list, but that he feels a sense of entitlement about the items on it. Lisa gives some good strategies, selling items you no longer need or want, husband taking a part-time job if possible, etc. I wonder, though, what's at the root of it. Why does husband's list hold so much importance for him that he's willing to sacrifice necessities for toys. If you two can get at the heart of what the list really means to him, on a level that's deeper than just "the stuff", then maybe you can come to a resolution that doesn't involve you building resentment against each other, or digging yourselves into a financial hole. Money fights are the worst. Sending many gentle hugs your way. Trinity [/QUOTE]
