Re: Easier to save
We get along well in dealing with our finances. Actually, he really isn't all that interested in it. But, he does take care of the bills, insurances, balancing the checkbook and so forth. The day to day stuff. I am more interested in finances so I make the decisions regarding saving and investing. I chose the retirement funds, buy stocks, etc.
He is not a spender. He does all the grocery shopping but takes a list and pretty much sticks to that. He does try to find the best deal when getting groceries.
I am the spender in our relationship. I buy the stuff for the house, clothes for us and the kids, etc. We have never been in debt so he really doesn't care what I buy and knows that I am not going to go overboard or get us into debt.
As for saving, I didn't save much when I was younger. But, once we had children, I wanted to make sure we had money in the bank so then we started to pay more attention to that.
