[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we started dating he was really bad with saving and had a few hobbies/splurges that were too expensive for what he was making. It is no longer an issue because his income has increased very significantly and his tastes/habits haven't gone up. And he knows he's disorganized with budgeting so I manage our household budget and make sure we're saving enough. From the time we started dating until we got engaged his income doubled, and he showed a willingness to improve his financial discipline. I wouldn't have married him if he didn't show steps towards improving.[/quote]

Same.  My spouse overspent when we were dating, and it was a red flag, and it was an issue in the early years of our marriage.  Rather than fiscal discipline, he just became a workaholic so he could keep spending.  I play defense in our marriage with these like retirement and kids' college accounts, and he makes and spends a lot of money (and to be fair, he spends a lot of money on me and our kids, too).  It's never easy to have a marriage of a saver and spender, but we got through it and are fine now.  [/quote]
