My Husband Spent Our Car Savings on a Paris Trip for His Mom – So I Taught Him a Financial Lesson

When David spent our car savings on a Paris trip for his mom, I was furious. We had saved for three years for a safer family car, and he used it without asking me.

I called his mom, Melissa, who was just as shocked. “Cancel it,” she said. “Family comes first.” So, I refunded the trip and bought the car.

When David found out, he was outraged. “You spent the money without asking?”

“Like you did?” I replied. “But I spent it on our family.”

I handed him a new budget plan. No more surprises. Lesson learned.
