My husband admitted he spent all his money on video games... Now what?

I've debated posting for a while now, but I think I just need to get it off my chest and hear others opinions...<br><br>I know there's been a post like this before from the male side of the argument with a big blow up with the wife spending too much on things to have "nice things" and get out of debt, but this is our situation...<br><br>My husband (27m) and I (27f) have been together for six years, married for two. He plays video games on his free time...<br><br>I make about 45,000 a year, while he makes about 55,000. We decided to open a joint account of our direct deposits so we could pay bills and make sure we are both on the same page and save.<br><br>Long story short, we had a fund for his gaming account that was just over 2,000. We decided if we wanted to buy something, we both got to spend 500ish. He would do what people call "microtransactions" and drop 100 here, 50 there, and over a year or two it adds up. I bought myself a designer bag for my birthday with the money from that fund.<br><br>Fast forward a few months and he decides... hey, I'll buy myself another microtransaction, 10 here, 20 there. No problem! A few months go by and anytime I think about wanting to use money for myself, he reminds me to make sure we have enough for bills. We make just over 8,000 a month combined... we spend about 3,500 in bills and groceries and gas. I try to remind him that we have a bit of money left over but he says we have to be careful...<br><br>Another few months go by and he goes to buy something for his birthday, he logs into his account and sees that he's spent over 2,000 on the microtransactions. He gets this look on his face and admits he's spent all that money.<br><br>I think to myself... okay, no problem. We do have a savings fund that is a lot more than 2,000, so we can just transfer it and it's no big deal... but I'm angry. I don't buy myself a lot of things, I don't go on trips, I dont spend money on myself unless it's something I truly feel I need.<br><br>So... the question is...<br><br>How do I put my foot down and make sure he doesn't blow any more money on this stuff? Is it as easy as telling him the rules are that purchases have to be more than 100 dollars spent to get approved? Is that too strict? Should I tell him he can't spend money on that stuff anymore? Is that too strict? What would you do in this situation?<br><br>EDIT: We do not have kids or any pets. Our children are grown dogs so we don't have to worry about taking them with us on trips. Also, we have been with each other and been married for years with no previous problems.
