If you ever want to tape that budget mneteig with your wife, I'd love to hear it. We've tried it, and honestly, my husband and I communicate so differently, it's difficult. I'm an accountant, he's an artist. Neither of us is wrong' in our money perspectives, just think about it differently. It makes it difficult and usually ends with me taking charge of it and him not being invovled, which is frustrating because he never knows when we run out of money and I feel responsible when we're short.
