Waaay back when
you know...like right after we got married [last year!]
Adam deposited his check
paid the bills
& used his debt card for what he wanted
I cashed my check
and went shopping
& bought what I wanted
then my sweet husband realized this was not going to get us where we want to be
we were afterall married
so our money should be too
and that my friends was the last of my shopping
he put me [us] on a
[brace yourselves]
[brace]
[are you ready]
BUDGET!
And...it's been the best thing since
I can't believe I just typed that
but truly...deep down
it has
I'll admit
I was nervous
I had never 'shared' my money before
And I don't like sharing...anything!
But I didn't realize that I was spending thousands yaseriouslyi'mnotkidding of dollars a month
on nothing
[okay...I was getting awesome clothes & lots of other goodies...but nothing we needed]
I thought since we weren't in debt [ok we still have a mortgage people! & I have a little student loans...but no credit cards] that we could just go out to eat & shop as much as we wanted
So what works for you guys?
Do you 'share' your money? Are you on a budget?
I'm curious!
