Seriously peeved at DH

My husband is a really giving person. He wants to buy my parents a shed with the money he's earned doing side jobs in the past month so that they don't have to rent a storage unit. They complain to us regularly how broke they are so even though we live fairly below the poverty level on absolutely no state or federal assistance we try to help them when we can which is really bs because they have horrible money sense. I've told DH nicely that we can't afford it. Yesterday he asked if I was planning on using that money to pay off medical bills and I told him yes. I just ran the budget for this month and if he spends the extra money on my parents rather than his us, we have less than $150 to make it through the end of the month. If he continues to refuse to listen to me, I'm calling my parents and telling them to buy their own f'in shed that we absolutely can't afford it and DH's attempt to help them out is throwing us in for a really bad situation. They need to stop complaining about this and that so DH stops trying to help them... I just wanna scream and cry. Wtf?!!?

    Yeah that would really upset me. I would have a come to Jesus meeting and explain to him that your family is the #1 priority here and that $150 to make it through the month is just not going to cut it.

    I'm sorry you're having money issues but in a way you're really fortunate. You have an amazing husband who is really generous and would doing anything for YOUR parents. My husband is exactly the same towards my mom. The majority of people are selfish bastrds. Appreciate this but do sit down and present your budget without screaming at him.

    Oh I definitely know I'm totally lucky. He'd bend over backwards for anyone, has to be the most giving person I've ever met. I just wish I didn't have to push so hard to get the point across that right now we need to focus on getting our debt gone.

    We had a talk and I convinced him that the money needs to stay here rather than go to help them. I don't mind him giving up time to help them physically but financially is another story entirely. He understood but I could tell he was a bit disappointed.
