SO- here we are- 15+ years later, trying to whip into shape.
It’s crazy to think about that but I know that time will zoom by. College, weddings, retirement, etc will be here before we know it. We are now at the point of our lives where our kids are a teen/pre-teen and elementary schooler. Or we’d try and then one of us would spend and the other would try to nag him into not doing so…and then that one person would get fed up and just start spending again. So I walked the line but never fully embraced a budget. The idea of bouncing a check (which used to be the only way to pay bills a million years ago) was horrifying. Although I don’t like to follow the crowd necessarily, breaking rules scares me. I was a little more naive but TERRIFIED of getting in trouble. He knows WAY more than the average person about credit, debt, etc.
Josh has been in the collection industry since he was a teen (his Dad owned a collection agency and he still works in that field). Here we are early twenty-somethings, engaged and blissfully unaware…. Neither of us were horrible with money then but we definitely could’ve buckled way down. One of us likes to spend on big ticket items, while the other shops shops shops to find the best deal but buys lots of little things that add up. Josh and I, as most couples do, came into our marriage with our own ways of spending money. If you’d like to get the current one, get more information here. > I recently updated this Printable Budget Binder.
