This seems to be a recurring fight with my fiancé. I need to show him how to budget. I have budget myself for years and I owned a home by myself before meeting him. He on the other hand lived in an apartment as as long as he made the rent and had $20 for electricity, he party the rest of his money away. He need his car fixed and new work boots so he charged about $1,000 on my credit card- OK, rough but it was for stuff he had to have. His car has to be fixed so he can get to work and his work boots fell apart- so he had to have new ones. Then I find out he went to a bar with a friend and charged $40.00 and then he played the lottery at work and owed someone $20…….when he’s already spend $300 in Vegas because he was out there on a conference and it just keeps going on. And he doesn’t understand that he priority and values are out of order. He thinks we have this never ending well of money because we have two salaries but we are trying to fix up a house and pay for a wedding. He’s solution to this problem was for me to get lower cover on my car insurance so he doesn’t have to change his habits. When I tell him the heating bill is $350 for this month- he solution is to turn off the heat and we’ll just wear coats inside the house so he doesn’t have to stop going to the bar.
I need websites and books that can help me explain and show him how to budget. I need “proof” to show him how people budget money.
Any links or website or suggestion are greatly appreciated.
