I taught him too much
We were listening to tv and heard how cheap the large tvs will go very soon I made some stupid remark like we should start saving now.
Well dh has soaked in what we have been doing along with always being frugal to start with.
Ours works fine and do we have 8 month savings and all debt paid yet??
Guess it takes 2 to rein in spending.Meg
cc debt free YEAH on to the mortage

Good for him. My husband just rides along and really would rather not talk about anything financial.

Start where you are with what you have. Make something of it and never be satisfied.

Good for him. It's so much easier when two are on board when it comes to finances and frugality.

Yeah that. My husband's idea of financial planning is either "Do we have enough money to..." or "Hey, I just wrote a check out for my mess bill for $200."
