Awhile ago my dh won about 5k+ in the lottery, now he won again about 4k+, and I am a little upset because he wants to invest the money in other stuff(savings etc) . We have been having problems because he thinks we can wait to have a wedding party(renewal) for about 5k, money that we already  have(savings, taxes etc) I told him that he can put half of the wedding budget $2500, I can put the other half. I dont see the big deal He already won almost 10k in less than 3 months, and $2500 is not alot to ask. He thinks my dream of having a wedding(party) is a waste of money. What can i do, I can take the 5k from our bank account or even less with no problem. But I feel its wrong(stealing?) to take somebodys money, even if is our without his approval.

does he want to put the money away, because he thinks you guys will need it for "real" things (not saying a vow renewal isnt real.. i just mean are finances running tight for important bills, mortgage, kids, etc)? or does he not want to "share" because he's a typical man who doesnt understnad how exciting and special a vow renewal party is to a woman?

if you guys dont NEED the money for something more important, id try to barter with him, "hey, if we can use $2500 from the lottery money that would make me incredibly happy, i think we should also throw a big super bowl party (or w/e he likes) that would make you really happy!" --or, "you know that $2500 toward our vowrenewal would really be a great cushion and we can even treat outselves to that awesome _____ (cake, steak, top shelf bar?) you always wanted!"

i always find that if i try to make something sound like its in DHs benefit, he is much quicker to agree with me! ;)

kplusd he wants to have a business, but that is alot of money so that will be along time goal. We have some savings more than 20k, plus the taxes are coming that will be about 6k, also we always try to save 1k a month( about 12k a year), and now he won that money too. Also we dont have a crazy amount of debts maybe less than 2k, and the regular household bills(we rent, no mortgage)

It really just sounds like he's very tight with his money and I'm sorry he doesn't understand that a small amount for a vow renewal is something special to you! I understand that saving money is important and if he wants to start a business, he will need a lot, but you guys sound like really good savers (and lucky with the lottery!!!) I know you've tried talking to him about this before and don't really get anywhere. I wish I could help, but I can just be a shoulder to lean on :) *HUGS*
