 Re: Money Differences
Well as far as budget (I usually don't bother ) I make a list of all the bills that need to be paid and put it on the fridge. We have no where near as much coming in as we have going out (its not me spending it) dh has ALOT of money saved (probably my salary for 2 maybe 3 years) but I don't want to use that to subsidze our monthly bills. I want to make it so we can pay our monthly bills with what we actually have not use savings. We do have a joint account, but then he as his "other" account. Its not that he constintly spends alot of money but take for example our house I wanted a smaller house that we could have paid off (makes financial sense right?) so he builds this monster and we really don't need all this space, he's now agreed that we should have built a smaller house (like I suggested) but its too late. I like the house but for two people its just huge, he grew up in much bigger house though and thinks this one is small, I grew up in a much smaller house so I think its huge! I guess its kind of a difference on what you had (or didn't have) growing up....Thanks for the ideas we do tend to look at my money vs his money even though we have a joint account... |
