Right around death is probably not a great time for a spending spree, but sounds like your heart was in the right place.

She got rich bitch!
Decided not to turn down this money like she has when other relatives have passed or when getting divorced, etc.... Wonder what changed her mind?

You should listen to your husband.
I'm also adding at least a crazy factor of 5 to everything you say. He's probably trying to get you to cool it on just spending every dime your mother left.
Is this normal?

You are doing the right thing. When my grandmother died she left everything to my mom because she had been the one that took care of her after she got old.After she got my grandparents' house sold, she split the everything with her two sisters evenly. She asked me if I would be OK with that beforehand. I told her it was fine with me and probably the best thing to do. All are still around and all are closer than they were back in the 90's when my grandmother died. Who knows if that would be the case if she'd kept everything?

Buy me a 26 Calcutta, I'll take him fishing and tell him how much a duck he's being.

How much money originally? How much did you spend? What's left?
It sounds like you have spent a lot of cash so far and your husband sounds like a dick.
Provide more information and people can give advice.

Doesn't your husband's family own the family land you live on? If I were you, I'd save as much money as possible 'cause when you get divorced, you might need to find a new place to live.

Agree that the paperweights are a 
The monogrammed bracelets and watches also make me think that the money is burning a hole on your pocket and you don't know financial responsibility.

Your money is his money, legally. But he sounds like a douche. But it also sounds like you should maybe spend some of that on something that actually has some ROI. But this isn't the money board.
Eta I may be wrong on the legality part actually.

What kind of watch did you buy him?

Why does your husband think he deserves any part of that money for his own wants? You shouldn't have bought him anything with that money in the first place, it's not his, that money should be split between your mother's children equally. Sounds like you're hogging all the money though. And yea you've spent $25k, but if you bought your husband a new truck, then you've spent at least $25k of your mother's money on you and your husband as well.
You're trying to use us to justify your greed and trashiness by stating it in a way that makes you sound like the good guy, but if we were getting the whole story, I'm sure you and your husband come off looking really bad

you made the money be about your mom and you, not about your husband and you.
no comment on whether it was WRONG.
you made a gesture to make everyone remember her in a positive light.

Uh, not it's not. Inheritance is separate property in Louisiana (assuming it's to an individual and not jointly).

quote:
Art. 2341. Separate property.
The separate property of a spouse is his exclusively. It comprises: property acquired by a spouse prior to the establishment of a community property regime; property acquired by a spouse with separate things or with separate and community things when the value of the community things is inconsequential in comparison with the value of the separate things used; property acquired by a spouse by inheritance or donation to him individually; damages awarded to a spouse in an action for breach of contract against the other spouse or for the loss sustained as a result of fraud or bad faith in the management of community property by the other spouse; damages or other indemnity awarded to a spouse in connection with the management of his separate property; and things acquired by a spouse as a result of a voluntary partition of the community during the existence of a community property regime.
Now if there is a question, it's whether you deserved to be the sole arbiter of how it's spent. Though, you arguably have possession/ownership as it's in an account that you now solely control. But if that was your mother's wishes, and everyone in the family, is fine with the situation, then cool.

Yeah, but the first sentence of that article of the law says the property can't possibly belong to the woman...
"The separate property of a spouse is his exclusively."
