[FrugalIII]

I've tried it with my wife on a number of occasions. I'm a big saver and she's totally uninterested in money issues. That's one reason we keep our finances separate and contribute equally to the "family expenses". Otherwise, we'd both be broke. From time to time she gets the notion that she wants to be more of a saver but it doesn't last long. I'm going through it with her now. She just got a big raise in salary, but still cries "broke". She has no money management skills whatsoever. I'm at my witts end. I've encouraged her to read various books, become more involved in knowing about our personal finances, she just doesn't care. She's one who lives for today and she'll "get by somehow" tomorrow. I do all the savings for the family and she has no clue how much in saved/invested. She just doesn't care.
