Does your husband have a goal? Or does he feel the money is just sitting there, waiting to be spent on a car or whatever else he feels like spending it on?
I ask because for a while my DH was always talking about getting a more expensive pickup, another tractor and trading the baler in for another more expensive baler. Bam, bam, bam, every time we talked about money, he said we needed those things.
But then, we started talking about buying more cows (which have been our best investment so far). We are going to need to borrow about $50,000 from the bank to buy 40 more cows, so all of a sudden, he can get by with the two old pickups we already have and the old baler. We are still talking about the tractor, which truth be known, we do need. But it is so much easier to deflect some of the other things for now because of the big goal he is really pushing for.
Sorry for the detour to hicksville, but I think if your husband had a big goal that he chooses (don't push one on him) the talk about having to get a new car would go away.
