2 years ago, I suffered an accident at work and recently reached an agreement with the company, it was a huge amount. For example purposes and to make it clear that these are not the real values.

I received 100k, I decided to divide it as follows: 30K for me, 30K for my wife, 25K for emergencies and 15k for my parents.

I am the main breadwinner at home and my wife and I split the bills 25/75 (I don't know if this is important).

Well, my wife wants me to divide the money I'm going to give to my parents in half and share it with my ILs, because it's money that would help them too.

I refused, saying that this is money that is up to me to decide how to use it and that if she wants to help her parents, she is free to use hers as she wants.

To be clear, her parents are financially stable and my parents have absurd expenses because my father has several health problems and basically this money would cover a year or two of his medicines, they are struggling financially even with my help monthly.

She said that this money should be a joint decision and that I was being selfish in deciding its destination without listening to her.

Reddit, AITA?

Extra: She and I are financially stable, childless and this money is not needed to pay our expenses, so it will be used for other things
