As a 37-year-old earning RM8k per month, I've only managed to save RM100k in my savings which i know is insufficient. To ramp up my savings, I've adopted a frugal lifestyle.

However, this has led to tension with my wife, who feels we should enjoy life more and want to take control over our finance.

As a housewife, she is good at taking care our childrens but not in managing finance. i'm hesitant to hand over our finance to her due to her limited experience.

Should i prioritize making my wife happy and risk compromising our financial stability or find alternative solutions to address her concerns?

I'm torn between securing our financial future and maintaining a happy marriage.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Edit : My main question is should i let my wife happy and control our finances, even if it compromises our financial stability?

Pamper your wife once in awhile, buy the thing she like without her knowing to suprise her, if you don't pamper her others will, let her feel worth it.
Buy gold for her, you and her also happy, cos gold doesn't drop much when you need the money.
