Default Re: Getting your SO involved

My DH (dont get me wrong, love him to death) looks at the budgets I do, looks at my savings ideas, looks at what I've committed to paper as to what I want to do, and I feel like I'm getting the blank stare treatment. He's from the "just doesn't get it" school of thought...

Yes, that really is quite the challenge, isn't it? Convincing your spouse to be on board....

I'm not really sure what the answer is, but I don't think they need to be completely on board. They just have to agree to go along with it. In return, you could always throw them a bone in the form of a small allowance for them to spend in whatever they want. That way, they won't resent you for not (eventually) getting what they want, and would be more willing to let you manage all of the money.
