Money matters and relationship

To some people money plays a significant role in where the relationship stand and where it will go. I know my partner (his parents) are wealthy.. Not wealthy in the sense that they do it have to work again but through hard work they are able to live comfortably but still are currently employed to sustain that lifestyle. For this he always boasts how his Parents can do this and that and for my part I pretend that I don't hear his comments. I guess he fails to realize that it's his parent not him. I guess he doesn't realize that he could end up the complete opposite. Now that will be joke. To answe the question if money matters, I thinkit all depends on the people and if they can make it work. For me money does to matter cause money can't by u real love or tru happiness but he's all about money and getting a good job and bringing in the six figures but we still make it work between us although we have differing views. That's why he picks up the check when we eat out! Since he's the rich one lol

We tend to just have little conflicts about money - in the past, it's been how we will buy something or how much we should save. They aren't too big, mostly because for most of our relationship, we just haven't had money to spare. We spend time a few times a year going over what our goals are and then we figure out how we can meet them. I think it is important to be financially compatible, not necessarily the same as each other but able to compromise, because money determines so much of what people's lives will be like.

Money is the common problem in marriages. Especially if both are working, there seems to be hassles when one buy a lot of unnecessary things instead of saving for future and emergency cases. Buying thing also becomes a problem when couples has different tastes, ideas and opinion towards one particular thing.

My hubby and I are pretty much on the same page when it comes to money. We prioritize where any extra money goes. Right now, we know that we need to make some house repairs so our extra money is going towards that. We drive economical cars, and we drive them until they die. Once we pay for the house repairs, we would like to take a trip for our anniversary.

Now that's real, a difference in taste of money spending can and will surface problems for any couple but actually there is no such thing as a "conflict-free" relationship. You are going to argue about something with your'e partner at some point be it about something to buy, an investment to make or what you want for dinner.

I told my boyfriend (future husband *hihihihi hopefully*) that we shouldn't argue regarding money because it is just money and nothing more. We atleast talk about everything we should spend and budget and agree both sides :) Well we are happy regarding it :")

One of the common problem that a husband and wife quarrels upon is money. I too would agree to this and base on experience, something that has to do with money, there's always the possibility of long argument. I've learned to swallow my pride and sometimes (or oftentimes) just clip my wings and let the opposite side be the winner. Money (though many people will not accept it) is often times the source of major argument in a relationship.

Your parents seem to be like me and my husband. I am the thrifty one and my husband is my opposite. I guess this is common among couples. It is just a matter of talking it out well (Compromise) so that a good decision can be made.

Thank goodness i don't have such conflicts with my husband. Whenever I want to buy something expensive, i consult it with him because I trust his judgement enough on where I put my money. Even though I badly want it but he thinks it's not worth it, I have to let it go. It took us months on what car to buy before because we are that meticulous on where we put our hard earned money. It should be at a value no matter how expensive it is as long as we believe it's worth the price, we buy it.

I would have to agree with you that money matter can be a factor of conflict in any relationship. I have seen countless couples fought over money matters. My own parents did that too. When I get married later, I will make sure that I managed it properly so as to not have fight with my love ones over such trivial issue.

With my girlfriend we never argue on money , we love each other and we know that's all we need! But sometimes when i try to waste my money on stupid things she warns me.. Which is a good thing for my purse :)
