How Budgets Sexy Really Works

If  not, that’s a whole other blog post, haha… and sadly not that rare. We’ve been married for a year now, and we still have issues with finances.

We have different styles when it comes to money that don’t seem to mesh. I’m a saver.

Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy

Worth noting: i always tell him when I build purchases or if I spend more money on balances we owe (which isn’t a lot as a young married couple… we have $5,000 in credit card debt and my student loans don’t kick in for another year). I try to build solid financial decisions and read all the time regarding making solid decisions with money.

He, on the other hand, is a large spender. He doesn’t always tell me he has made a order; I typically spot it on our joint checking account later and have to confront him, which I hate doing.

Tips That Make a Difference

More importantly, he spends frequently on himself, purchasing clothes he wants or aspects he thinks he “requires,” and doesn’t genuinely seem to think long-term or that I might wish or require aspects, too. I try genuinely hard to talk to him regarding money, but it can be challenging.

I wish to build a plan that we stick to, but have a hard time knowing how to approach him with it. We wish to purchase a house rather than living with family eventually, but with the rate he likes to pay on himself, I don’t know if it will happen. What should I do?

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Keep in mind that one aspect I will say that GENUINELY lets you us out a lot (I tend to splurge more than the Mrs, if you can believe that), is that we have our own separate “do as we please” funds set up.  That only we can touch and do with though we wish - no questions asked. I too think some solid communication is needed too  - that’s the base of *everything* in a marriage, which I’m sure you’ll agree.

The trick is figuring out a method to talk regarding aspects easier (maybe w/ a glass of wine? Haha…), and then consistently working at it.  It would actually assist squash plenty of OTHER problems too that may come up - or maybe money’s the one aspect y’all genuinely struggle with?

Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?

As a rule, either method, that’s my 2 cents - I’m sure the others will have a lot to chime in regarding ;) What do you think, guys?  Have you been in this spot ahead of? Have you figured out something that works?
