The only thing scarier to me than a spender is a gambler. My DH and I are lucky to be of the same frugal mindset.

I think of it more as one more compromise in marriage. It's not always about you. Or else you won't stay married. Thanks amanda. I think of it more as one more compromise in marriage.

On the financial side, for me anyway, keeping track of my spending is the key to seeing the big picture. BTW, sorry to hear about your knee :( Sincerely, Amanda Compromise can be good, it can force us to open our minds, enjoy and live life by doing things we might have not otherwise done, and reminds us that it doesn’t always have to be black and white.

I don't know. I've often found that people I didn't think could afford something, often times can! SQ, that's exactly it. In life nothing is exactly 50-50. Although it's hard to find a balance. Meg I agree about separate money. However, when you are in debt, it's easier to try to focus on a goal of debt repayment over how to spend. Abigail, definitely you have to live life as well. Being cheap along the way and then regretting it has happened to me. JoeP, maybe. I don’t know. I’ve often found that people I didn’t think could afford something, often times can!
