I have a partner who naturally assumes that my asking him to catalogue what he spends his money on, for just one week, so I can work out where we are leaking cash is completely and utterly curtailing his enjoyment of life. Has anyone got any tips on how I can help him to see that the first step to us having more money, and therefore the freedom he desires is to know where we are starting from, and what we are spending money on that we don't need to? Thank you for your advice, before I receive it - it really is much appreciated!

You should tell him that both of you have to make lists and to cut out what is wasteful. Does he think that he can go what guys do, while you have to be the one that is not allowed to do anything. So maybe he can no longer go to the football game every Friday, well big deal. I see something wrong here. There is no commitment, no legal paper saying you are married, so he thinks that he can do what he likes and that what is his is his, and what is yours is yours and if he makes it so that you suffer, then to him, well it is all your fault. Are you leasing your house or flat? Tell him that he is not a little boy and he had better act like adult, that you are cutting things out and you do not want it all on your head.
