Money !!  Everyone wants it and hardly anyone
knows how to manage it.
Like everyone else my bride and I have had
money issues since we've been together. I'm
the one who paid the bills and took care of every
thing for years. I would say "a lot" don't spend anything
this week because there's nothing left.
Needless to say she would and we'd argue about it.
A year ago she decieded to take over the reins of our
money. She pays the bills and takes care of the house
hold money.
For once she sees that we make enough to live on and
can afford a few extras if we plan for them...
I could never get her to understand that...
Now she's worse than I ever was... She even questioned
the fact that I went out to lunch 4 times in the last two weeks;
as she puts it, "are you too good to take your lunch ?"
My point is, money breaks up more marriages than a
spouse cheating but like cheating it's a subject neither
likes to bring up..
What's your opinion ???

    I agree that money can make rational people into lunatics.  Some couples have a lot of trouble with it.  It seems to be worse when one person makes significantly more than the other, or one spends a lot more than the other.
     
    I'm a big believer in setting a budget that includes some "pocket money".  That way you don't have to justify a lunch out, or new shoes, etc.  My ex husband and I would argue about money only because I caught him hiding money from me.  My ex BF and I would argue because he would insist on spending money that I didn't think we had to spend.  I'm not sure what the solution to either of those problems is.
