bab Posted June 24, 2006 Posted June 24, 2006 So, from what I understand conflicts over money and how it is handled is one of the largest contributing factors to marriages failing. How is money handled in your marriage? For those of you who eventually divorced did money play a part in that? We had our first money disagreement the other day. Basically, we are trying to buy a house this summer. I'm getting 2 paychecks in July and then not again until Halloween. So, money is gonna be tight. Hubby was getting ready to go to a race and we started talking about laser hair removal. I said it's funny that it takes almost no time, but it's still like $300 dollars. I said, it's almost time for my next treatment. He says, "maybe you should hold off on that until November, I thought we should save most of your summer checks. " This would be all fine and dandy if we weren't in the process of getting him ready for this weekend trip that's gonna cost around $1000. Not to mention he's got another one planned in September! He of course thinks he's sacrficing because he's not going to go to the one in October. Anyway, this isn't that serious, but it got me thinking about money issues in marriage. What type of issues does having different ideas of how money should be spent/saved bring up in marriage? What do you guys think?
