Re: Easier to save
I agree, my first husband and I did not get along financially. He loves to gamble, play cards, dog track, etc. He never had a dime saved, just spend, spend , spend. Because I saved, we had a nice home, cars etc. When we got divorced, he never owned a home again. (we split it 50/50) He wound up living with his in laws for the rest of their lives. (and he was a licensed builder, but ended up a bag boy)
My husband and I get along great with money, but I will have to say one thing. We had older used furniture for years, but when i built a beautiful new house worth a half mil, I had to have all new furniture.
I got everything including mattresses, mirrors, wall hangings, furniture for every room, for about $7000. And I paid cash for it too!!
