So my bf and I are expecting our first baby. I’m 10 weeks pregnant.

This baby wasn’t planned but we’re happy about it!

Financially not in the best spot. So any extra money we’re getting is supposed to go into savings for baby.

Recently my bf got some money from an annuity check he gets and he put most of it away. But kept about $1000 of it.

He said he’d like to do something for himself so we agreed we’d go to Disneyland (his bday was a few days ago) And our luck his mom gave us free passes to go! Woo! That saves us a few hundred and now we can spend freely at Disney without having to worry about spending too much.

But now he’s obsessing over this rod and reel for fishing that costs $250-300.

Which is double what his ticket for Disney would’ve cost.

Not only that but we live in Los Angeles! He rarely goes fishing cause the closest lake to us is a 25 min drive and I’m the only one who can take him.

He also has 3 other rods/reels so he literally doesn’t need this. He’s acting like he goes weekly to go fishing but he literally goes once every few months.

I tried explaining to him that “yeah I get you have a little bit of extra cash in your pocket but that could be used for something we might actually need. $250 is a lot of money for us right now and maybe when we have more money someday you can get one that you really want”

And he snapped and was like “were never gonna have money!!”

Like are you serious?

I was like why’d you ask for my opinion if you were just gonna get mad? All the extra money I get I put away because hey WERE HAVING A BABY AND MOVING SOON AND THATS EXPENSIVE

He’s also starting school soon for welding so it’s not like he’s gonna have a fuck ton of free time to go fishing. He never even uses the 3 rods and reels he has!

Ugh idk I’m frustrated.

Am I wrong in this? Or would you ladies feel the same way?

Like I want to spend money on new shit all the time but I don’t because I know right now it’s not about what I want. It’s about what we actually need.

Lmk what y’all think. My hormones are everywhere so idk if I’m justifiably annoyed at him. He has a history of not being good with his money but before that was just his money. Now he has a child to think about.

Also note; I hate going to Disney most of the time. It’s always hot, tiring and boring unless you’re going on a ride. I’m pregnant so can’t go on most things lol so I’m literally only going for him because I love him and I know he’s wanted to go for the Star Wars shit
