One of the biggest factors in your accumulation of wealth is the person you choose to be your spouse.

I fell in love at first sight, and I married the girl (proposed the night we met). But, I still vetted her financial planning and would’ve called it off if we were on different tangents.

Marriage is not one ceremony, or one year. It’s a life long committment. Money is the same thing, not one budget, but a lifetime committment. Why marry someone you will fight with all of your life?

Would a PETA member marry a fur trapper? Compatibility is huge! Make your rules and present them to your significant other BEFORE you get married. Then watch their response…

We’ve been married 25 years and never had an argument about money but we just got lucky, because we never had the money discussion before marrying.
One indication that we were both cautious spenders, though,, was that our entire wedding only cost $600 (this was back in 1983) and we used coupons for the cake, invitations and flowers! Begin as you mean to continue, I say!

My husband and I talked about money prior to getting married. We actually already had a draft plan done before the wedding. We also share the responsibility of finances and never hide purchases. After 12 years of marriage, I can count on one hand how many times we’ve argued over money. I recently did a post on two different experiences with money before marriage.

It looks like your husband has fishing but you have nothing equivalent…
