re: Arguments with spouse over money

We got married when I was in graduate school. I didn't have jack shite for money and we lived off of her office job. After I graduated and got a job I never said a peep about how we spent our money (and we were relatively frugal). We were never a "keepin up with the Jones" type of people. We had friends and family on both sides of our income range-we just lived our life the best way we could and made sure our kids had everything they needed. If you're really a couple then you'll figure a way to work it out.
