Who is better at budgeting? You or your fiancé(e)?

We work together on the budget, but he is definitely better at budgeting than I am overall.

We're both pretty good at budgeting. I'm a little more frugal but she keeps me in check!

I would say both. I'm good at saving and so is he and we split paying the bills.

Definitely him, he manages most of our payments.

Hahah same here!! 😂

Me, I run the household, I dont even think he knows any passwords to pay bills lol

Definitely him, I am very good at spending money haha

I am. I am less inclined to give myself the leeway like my husband lol

I have a shopping problem, he has many things he wants but he will always say no to himself

I’m the better budgeter bc I think im
more realistic and I can stretch a dollar.
And I ALWAYS win the “guess the total grocery bill” game at when we shop.

ME, ME, ME! He's literally the worst with money and I think he'd be living out of his car if it weren't for me lol.

Meeeee... OMG he forgets when all his bills come out... he doesn't know how much they are... gaaahhh... His mom warned me 5 years ago, it's the way of the Mosser men... we are their brains, they are our brawn.

I am since i look at the financial every month and file the paperwork away.

I think long term budgeting my FH is better, and I'm better at short term budgeting.

I like to do lots of little spends but overall not spend a lot of money. He's more restrained but then will blow it all on a big purchase. I think we're both actually quite reasonable with budgeting.

He is lol I get a little out of control sometimes and he always has to bring me back to the budget 😂

He is so much better than I am

Ugh neither of us lol this can’t be good

He is, 100%!

That would be me!

He is. I definitely Treat Myself way more so I sometimes treat him so something. His father is horrible with money so he learned how to live on a budget. Mine is a financial planner yet I'm not money smart like he is.

That’s a piece of cake. He is a spender, so it is definitely me. I am a spender as well, but still save money every month!

Me 100%! He is a spender and I am a saver. I stick to strict budgets and lists and he just buys all Willy nilly.

Though I was a single parent for 4 years and he is quite a bit younger than me and was always single so he never really had any reason to be strict.

I am simply because I've had to be. He's never been terrible with money and he actually had much more put away and a more stable footing than me when we met, but he never really had to live on a strict budget the way I have in the past.

He recently took a new job with better opportunities but an initial pay cut from what he was making, so it's going to be interesting seeing how he deals with having a tighter budget. He's gotten used to a certain amount of excess income which he will not have anymore. Interestingly enough, though, the income he is now at is about equal to mine so now he will be able to better understand how I've been living the last couple of years. He has been quite stressed out about the reduction in income, but I've reminded him that for the last two years I have been covering my half of our expenses on this income without struggling and even managed to finish paying off over $10,000 remaining in student loans after we purchased our house.

He is. He has always been a very good saver and always has money on hand because he is prepared for anything.
I, however, see something for my classroom and forget that I’m supposed to buy groceries lol

I think we're both quite decent at it. Although neither of us has tried sticking to a budget yet, we've both managed to save a lot of money.

This time I have to go with a different one... it's definitely him...

Me. I’m the one in charge of the financial stuff. He doesn’t even have a clue when the bills are due. Haha

Me again :p lol. He likes to spend money on luxury things and doesn’t think too much about budgeting. My mom did teach me a lot tho about managing my money.

Oh I know, I know! ME! When we first met I had a nest egg and everything - and he was in debt... lol as most people are after school. But overall it will be me looking over our finances. It does help that I am taking courses towards an accounting certificate though.
