I purchased an entertainment center for our family room and thought my wife would be thrilled. She wasn't. I told her about the good price I got but she still complained about me making a decision to spend that kind of money without her. I didn't think it was a big deal but she did. How do I know when a decision needs to be made by both of us? (1:12)
We've worked hard to share everything equally as husband and wife. We split household chores, we share the money, and so on. If one of us buys new clothes, then the other is next. We have been married almost two years now, however, and our fifty-fifty plan is not holding up. Any suggestions? (1:40)
My wife likes to spend money but I want to save for a house. She will buy something without even knowing the price while I count every cent as we go through the grocery aisles. Compromising on how we spend money has been our number one source of conflict in marriage. What do we do when one of us is a spender and the other is a hoarder? (2:29)
We hate to admit it but we started our marriage in significant financial debt. We spent more than we should have on our wedding and honeymoon and then we both had pretty big school bills. We hate the financial burden we are under and want to get out of debt. How do we do it? (1:11)
We want to save money for our future and we try to keep our hands off a portion of the money in our checking account but it's not working. Each month we seem to dip into whatever we wanted to set aside. There has to be a better way. What's your advice on the best way to save money for the future? (1:39)
Neither of us is a financial wizard. In fact, money isn't a high priority for us. However, we both know that we need to have a way of managing our income and expenses in a way that fits our style. How do we start a budget and stick to it? (0:54)
I have some friends who have been married several years, and they each have their own checking account. They think we should do the same but something about that doesn't feel right. What do you think? Is it a good idea for couples to have separate bank accounts? (1:40)
Who should handle the finances in a household? (0:49)
My wife and I came from homes where money was handled differently. In my home Dad always paid the bills but in my wife's home both her mom and dad shared financial matters more. How do we decide who should pay the bills and balance the checking account? (1:42)
A friend of ours recently lost his job and he and his wife are not holding up well. We feel terrible about their situation and we also feel afraid that something like that could happen to us. What advice do you have on surviving a career crisis? (1:53)
My husband cheated on our taxes. I am so afraid of an audit from the IRS. My husband says everyone cheats a little, but I disagree! I am responsible also, how do I convince my husband to pay up and not jeopardize our future? (1:18)
My wife and I have racked up $20,000 in credit card debt. She blames me for most of it but the truth is neither one of us knows how to tell ourselves no. What do we do now? (2:16)
How do we stop the never ending "MONEY" arguments? If it's not receipts, it's bills or who should spend their cash so the other one can keep theirs. (2:45)
I am a "saver" and my husband is a "spender". How do we merge the two financial styles without being critical of the other person? (1:56)
My wife wants me to move up the corporate ladder so I will make more money. We don't have extra money to take vacations or drive new cars but we manage on what I currently make. I like the flexibility of my sales job and am not especially motivated by money. I was offered a management position but turned it down because I don't want the added stress and hours. Who gets the say what job I work as long as I am working and supporting the family? (2:56)
My husband has been on the verge of being laid off several times due to the economy. My childhood was extremely unstable and security is something I desperately need. He knows I am very stressed but he says I only care about money not him which isn't true. I don't even understand it fully myself, how can I explain it to him? (2:51)
My husband handles our finances. My friends tell me I should get involved but I hate dealing with money. Do you think its ok to let him do it all? (2:05)
