well i think you need to analyse why has he dropped the budget from 1000 to 300 if the reasons are sound enough, then i think you can compromise a little because all the money that he is planning to save is for both of you ONLY.i know it can be pissing at times when you really really wanna buy something and your husband tells you , honey can you buy this later. but then again i think its the reasoning behind it that matters. so analyse and then make a decision and if you feel that 300 is still less,i would suggest talking it out with yr husband and letting him know how you feel.thats something i would have done if i were you ...
