Re: His Money / My Money
Gold was at 250 $/ounce circa 2002. Jumped to 1800 by 2010. Now ar 1175. Good time to buy would have been 2002.
Over last 200 years, gold has barely kept pace with inflation. And it offers no dividend income.
Anyway, your husband seems to want to spend money for.everyone even if not asked. Thar is not a responsible thing to do. I think spending 15 k for house renovation is foolish. Your inlaws have money. Your husband’s siblings can also pitch in. And what’s up with your husband pitching in fully for his brothers wedding.
.There is a limit to throwing money away. It is one thing to help family when they need it. It is another when you thrust money onto family.
Both of you need to grow up. And save for the future. Money doesn’t grow on trees.
While we are at it, the market is also looking quite expensive. Ask your husband to rebalance.
