LivingAlmostLarge we have been on two vacations since being married one time to florida where we use the money that we receive as a wedding gift and we normally go to the mountain every thanksgiving where his father has been paying for us.

He saves for retirement but just not alot. I have no idea what's going to happen when retire and he really doesn't have enough money to retire with. I have been tryingto get him to open a RothIRA but he refuse to take any financal advise from me. He might be losing his job at the end of the year maybe that we make him realize that we are suppose to be a team. I have open a saving account for my dd and I have given him all the info so that he can make contributions but so far I have been the only one to do so. He claims he waiting for his finaces to get better and things will change but I think it's his way of thinking that needs to change and not his finances.
