I am much better with money than FH.... I pay all the bills, his bills too all of our accounts are linked together online. I am constantly reminding him not to waste $$ here.. or there.. and we need to SAVE!! $100 dinners cant happen anymore!
<3 QOTD 4/30/13! <3
he definitely is better with money than I am! I have such a bad habit of tapping into my savings for things I want, and he has never even touched his savings account- I need to get better with that =/ lol

We're both good with money - but I think I'm better at spending it wisely. But even as I say that I'm thinking about how annoyed he gets when I buy a $70 blouse. Keep in mind we both have seperate accounts yet we're always hasseling the other one to save money.

We're both really good about saving money and paying all our bills right away. Neither of us came from families that had the money for handouts so anything we wanted we paid for by working. I worked full time while going to school full time, and he used to work at his grandmothers restaurant in Maine bussing tables. I think that because we had similar upbringings that might have something to do with how we handle money in a similar way. Granted, it's a lot easier for him since he makes so much more than I do, but he has more bills to pay! lol its definitely a lot less stressful to handle all these payments knowing that we don't have to worry about the other making reckless spending choices.

I am def better at saving money and budgeting
<3 QOTD 4/30/13! <3
I am for sure better at saving and budgeting. If FH is always acting like his money will burn a hole in his pocket. I keep us on track budget wise. And together we are saving, but I have to pay attention to the bills and amounts we spend. He keeps saying how easy it has been to save, and that just proves it, lol because it's been tough-he just doesn't realize because I do all the bill paying/rent paying/food shopping/etc lol. We each get a set amount of 'spending' money each week and he is usually the first one to run out lol.

FH & I have a joint account and joint savings account. What he makes, and what I make go in there and it is OUR money. He handles the bills, paying, etc but I know all about it. We set a budget for the wedding and have both been pretty good. There were certain things we were not willing to sacrifice though. We are equally good with money since all finances are dealt with together. We have our monthly budget for savings, spending, bills etc and do well with it!
<3 QOTD 4/30/13! <3
I am the one better with money. I am the one that pushed us to go to finances classes to better learn how to live within our means and budget better. I sit down every month and go over our finances. I figured out a way to get him out of his massive debt. I'm the one that puts more into our joint savings account. He does put into it but I have to remind him to transfer the funds over.

Fh is financially retarded. I am so much better at saving when I need to and I don't think he knows the meaning of saving. If he want something ge buys it. Needless to say he gives me money every week to put away for the wedding and he's already informed me that I will be in charge of paying the bills when we move in together.
<3 QOTD 4/30/13! <3
FH for sure. If he spends 1.00 on a pack of gum, he writes it down in this little notebook that he has. When I ask why, he tells me I have to learn how to budget. My idea of budgeting is checking my bank account online once a day. I'm pretty terrible when it comes to financial responsibility.

FH is definitely better with money when it comes to saving and investing. But he's not so good when it comes to impulse purchases especially if it's something related to his hobbies.
<3 QOTD 4/30/13! <3
I think we're both very similar when it comes to money. We save, but we also don't deprive ourselves when we really want something (he's a little better at this than I am). I feel we both work very hard and thus deserve to have things we like. For now we have separate accounts, and when we get married we'll have a joint account, but I think we should also keep our own accounts- I don't want to feel guilty every time I buy a pair of shoes, especially since we both make about the same and contribute equally.
<3 QOTD 4/30/13! <3
We are both good with it! But when it comes to wedding I am more realistic about how much we need to save
<3 QOTD 4/30/13! <3
We're both good at it, but differently (if that makes sense). FH is better when it comes to spending money - mainly because he just doesn't. However I'm the one the does the bills. I HATE when a bill is paid late. So I handle all of that!
<3 QOTD 4/30/13! <3
I am better in terms of planning and thinking a head. My FH is a little less practical and more impulsive. Luckily we sort of balance. He likes to make people happy so sometimes he doesn't say no or say something is too much when he probably should. He tends to do the 'We'll make it work' I'm the 'NO WAY, we cant afford that!' person.
