Be Honest About Spending

Be upfront about your shopping and spending habits. You shouldn't have to hide your purchases, but establish some ground rules and be honest. If you go shopping every payday and hate that your significant other makes fun of you for it, tell him. You shouldn't criticize little purchases your partner makes either, as long as they aren't adversely affecting your money. Savings is a marathon, not a sprint. There should be some wiggle room.

Thanks for the tips... Seems like you really know what you are talking about, and managing your relationship and expenses well. I completely agree on having a savings account of your own it has worked for me in the past.
