I want to get some third party input on an issue that I'm having with a business partner.

My business partner is great in a lot of areas but he LOVES to spend money, if not kept in check. First a bit of background, about a month ago we combined both our phone plans and put them in the company name. We save about $100 a month doing this, plus I can pay it with pre tax dollars so its a net win. We have three phone lines, ours with Iphones, and my moms with a normal flip phone, which is only on my plan because when I wanted an Iphone it worked out cheaper to get two lines, so I gave her the phone which she uses maybe 30 minutes a month if that, no data or messaging. With the understanding that I'm going to cancel the line next year. So I go away for three weeks, which was my first mistake.

I come back and all of a sudden he says oh grandma needs a new phone were going to buy her an Iphone. I'm thinking OK, well Merry Christmas I'm not getting off cheap this year, whats a 5 $700? But wait their is more, it seems were adding her phone to the company plan and paying for it!

I'm kind of annoyed about this because for one thing, I'm not a charity, my grandmother has a house in FL, a Condo up here, and takes about 6-8 vacations a year, its not like she is living on SS. She drives an XJ8 I drive a 110k mile Chevy pickup...

I'm a little pissed about this, or should I just bend over and pay the $1200 a year its going to cost me? Drop in the bucket?

Now that the business is starting to turn a profit after years of making very little and lots of work...I kind of feel like I'm being taken advantage of here. Maybe I'll just give her my Iphone and take back my moms flip phone to save money.
