Default Re: Help Needed

My only thoughts are these:
1)As Suze Orman says- make a financial date with your partner. Light candles, put on soft music, maybe a bottle of wine and then pull out the budget and bills. If nothing else, he oughtta be into it for the ambience.
2) Establish a reward system. Get him into the process of deciding on a goal and a resulting reward. This works especially well with the kids if they're old enough, but DHs like it too.
3)Give him a task or two to complete each week or month. Could be tracking the CC balances, net worth or paying some bills. Maybe if he's responsible for one activity he'll catch on to that and it will inspire him.
Best of luck.
