[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] … In comparison, I spend 60/month on the gym, rarely buy clothes or personal products, and spend less than 100 a year on haircuts. … [/quote] So you’re a penny-pinching miser? Just kidding, but obviously you’re a saver and she’s a spender. And you’re making $250k, yet you’ve only came up with ~$1,000/month of personal expenses for her. That’s very, very average and not even a discussion worth having. If you really think this is a problem, here’s how to solve it. First, pay yourself. Set a goal to save whatever percentage of your income, say 15-30%, in 401k/taxable/IRA/HYSA/529/etc. and put it aside as soon as your paycheck hits. Then whatever’s left is available to be freely spent. There’s only 1 rule to follow: Your joint checking account balance can’t go below $0. [/quote]
