Question Posted Thursday February 10 2005, 3:10 pm
I am really worried about my fiance. He spends his money and doesn't worry about the consiquences that come along with it. This morning he found that he only had $8 in his account after he had just put in a check over $200. He depends on other people, such as his family to help him when he needs cash. I am not working right now because of school, but I plan to get a job as soon as possible. My fiance has bills to pay and I am worried that his money problems will hurt our future. I cannot imagine a life without him and I am not going to let money get in the way of our relationship; but I would like to see him be more responsible with how he spends. Even after people tell him including me he doesn't listen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I encouraged my fiance to make a budget based on his usual paycheck. He got with his sister and did it. He is paying down his credit cards and still has enough cash to live on. He actually brought up that we should start a savings account for our wedding; he has successfully put in about $200. Just tell him what you are thinking.

Yeah, it'll suck on credit rating reports, but it might take that kind of reality to kick his ass into realizing that he can't just throw money about like water.
