[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Classic, money. He is a compulsive saver. I’m a saver too but think we can live a little now that we are doing so well. We clash on that.[/quote] Early in our marriage I felt the exact same way but when we went through our first recession and I saw friends lose jobs and homes I began to see the wisdom. We never lived anywhere near our incomes but we lived comfortably. Because of this paying for college was easy and once that was done we started to loosen the purse strings. When the Great Recession hit we were in the process of building a vacation home and I was thinking we should stop the project but he said it’s no problem as I’ve got the cash safely put away. His saving approach allowed him to take some career risks that really paid off. We are now retired and we live very well and I’m amazed by our net worth. He was a compulsive saver but he was never cheap. It took me awhile to get use to it but I’m very glad I did. [/quote]
