[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get him a preloaded Starbucks card (or the Starbucks iPhone app) with a fixed amount per week. Make him lunch to take to work. Go to a cheap hole in the wall for dinner (makes for a fun date night) Make a weekly meal plan and grocery shop once a week with a list I went through the same thing with my husband a few years ago. We didn't do all these things all at once but a tweak here and there and he finally got on board and now is obsessed with saving money![/quote] Do not treat him like a small child. He can make his own lunch, why don't you both make your lunches at the same time? Or have a container out after you're done with dinner so it's easy. Sit down with bills and credit card statements. Show him how much extra you are spending to carry the credit card debt and how the small grocery trips really add up. He needs to agree that you should be saving money, not treated like a kid with an allowance.[/quote]
