[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually the spender also had other problems. I married one and dated another, but I was able to keep finances separately. Marriage wasn't too long luckily. 
One had ADHD, depression, and anxiety, the other one had ASD.[/quote]

Oh come on, you could just as easily say the saver has other problems like OCD, depression, anxiety, and ASD.[/quote]

But the "savers problems" are not preventing them from paying the bills or retiring by 65.

Also, plenty of savers do not have any issues, they are just responsible adults.  However most over spenders do have other underlying issues that are driving the spending.

Not in DCUM world, the savers tend to be overly controlling and think that someone making 500k is an irresponsible spender if they buy Starbucks at the airport.[/quote]

if that same "saver" is complaining they cannot afford to pay for their kid's college, then yes they were Not fully responsible.  But no, most savers are not the issues.

OP here. I don't want to accept all the blame or lay it all on my spouse.  We simply have conflicting values around money and debt, and different priorities for our time and resources.  I missed this when we were dating, and we haven't been able to find a middle ground. [/quote]
