“My wife and I are at odds. My parents are proposing a gift of a sum of money to help complete a project for our daughter’s bedroom. My wife feels we could use a credit card for that amount and use the gift elsewhere. I am of the mind that we should use the gift for what my parents intended and use the credit card for the other projects. Please provide your opinion as this is causing issues between us.”
Ms. Hax pointed out that either way, they’re getting money and spending some or all of it, so why the “issues”?
