Today's question comes from Bethany in Georgia. My husband and I are having a disagreement on our monthly personal spending money.

We budget for each of us to have $100. My husband says, I can't visit my family in Florida because we're paying off debt and the cost would be around 500. But he also talks about saving his allowance over several months to go to a concert.

Uh-oh.

I was under the impression that if you only plan on spending 30 out of the 100, you put the 30

into a spending envelope and use the rest towards debt. Can you clear this up for us?

Uh-oh. George, I feel like I need to get you one of those judge robes.

I would love that. This feels like an episode of Judge George.

A little gavel? A gavel. Why does it have to be a little? Why can't you have a full-size gavel?

A big gavel is a little bit superfluous.

Superfluous?

It's a little bit much.

Oh, you think you're trying to overcoversy? Yeah.

I think the gavel should fit the judge.

I'm going to get you a giant gavel.

Like where you're like this.

It's like a carnival game.

America wants to know.

This is a spicy one.

Well, the hot take is I think this is less about finances and more about their communication

and expectations around this.

Yeah. So they have a hundred bucks each month, but he's saying to her, you can't use $500 to go on
