KNOW AND RESPECT EACH OTHER’S SPENDING STYLES
One of you wants to save every penny and the other is a spendthrift. This situation is all too common among couples. That’s why it’s important to take each other’s spending styles seriously before fights become too frequent. To effectively manage money together, you should understand why your spouse spends or saves the way he or she does. Bankrate notes that family history and definitions of wants and needs speak volumes about spend decisions.
