I disagree. I don't think that is good money management - "You're blowing money so I should get to blow money, too." Spending by a couple isn't going to be even, dollar for dollar. My wife spends more than me on clothing. Does that mean I should go out and spend that same amount on something else? Of course not.

Here's an idea. He's spending $100/month on cigarettes. Why don't you spend $100/month to buy him Chantix and get him to quit?
