"I Skipped Buying Even One Piece of Clothing to Save for a House, but My Husband Secretly Sent 1 Million Won a Month to His Parents" [What Do You Think?]

[Financial News] A dual-income woman who had tightened her belt and gone without buying even a single piece of clothing in order to buy a home was furious after learning that her husband had been sending monthly allowance to his parents without discussing it with her.
On the 24th, a post titled "This is so annoying. My husband has been giving his parents allowance every month" appeared on the anonymous workplace community NOW Talk.
A woman identified as A, who said she works and earns income together with her husband, began by saying, "Our combined monthly after-tax income is about 10 million won. Our salaries are similar, but mine is a few hundred thousand won higher each month."
She said, "Because we don't have a house, we tightened our belts and invested hard." She added, "For a year, I didn't buy a single piece of clothing for myself, and I didn't eat out or order delivery. I cooked every day despite being busy." She also noted, "Because my husband's workplace is relatively far away, I do about 90% of the housework."
A said, "We lived frugally and put everything into stocks, saying we would buy a house next year." She continued, "While organizing our investment records together, I found out that my husband had been sending 1 million won a month to his parents."
She went on to say, "His parents are not struggling financially. They own a home worth around 2 billion won, and his father still does odd jobs and earns about 3 million won." She added, "At first, he said they needed to borrow money, but later they just asked for it every month, and he kept giving it to them."
She complained, "My own parents don't just give me allowance; they give me money whenever we meet, and this year they even paid 80 million won to replace my car." She added, "It's not that my parents are rich and can afford to do this. They are not in a difficult situation, but they also live carefully and save money."
Netizens who saw the story responded, "The money isn't the issue. The problem is that he didn't discuss it with her," "Give the same allowance to your own parents too," "I would be so angry," and "A married couple is an economic unit, so he should have talked about it first. He broke his wife's trust."
