I sympathize - it is not easy adjusting to a fixed income. We were by no means wealthy while working, but probably more than comfortable and really didn't have to think twice about spending within reason. We have now been here a year and found a comfortable budget that is working nicely so far. If we want or need to do something out of the ordinary we now budget for it whereas before we had the luxury of just doing it. See if you can bring him into this kind of thinking. Took me almost a year to convince my husband there wasn't a money cloud over our house. Good luck.
