[quote=Anonymous]Money stresses DH out, even though we make enough money to fully cover our needs and some wants. He largely avoides finances. I handle all of the finances - budgeting, bill paying, near and long term savings, retirement investment, etc. I grew up with a lot of financial fragility, and that baggage influences my financial decisionmaking. I prefer to having the control, even as I urge my husband to get more involved. I eventually got DH to agree to an annual financial meeting, where we review the prior year's spending and develop spending priorities for the upcoming year. I wish we met monthly to go over any planned large purchases just so they're on my radar. DH spends very little most months, but on occasion needs/wants something expensive, and it can throw things off a little if I don't scale back my spending to accommodate his purchase(s).[/quote]
