I will confess that I don’t really manage our income anymore.
The missus does. While I can do it, she just has a better head for it.
Since she has taken over that responsibility, I’ve always got enough spare cash to buy pretty much whatever I want and have a nice fat saving account (and investments) to boot.
Most "guys" may not like this, but when I want something expensive I ask her if we can spare the cash and if she says no, it’s almost always followed by “but in about X months we can”.
It’s actually kind of nice having someone else watch the finances and do well at it. Removed a lot of stress from my life and she handles it almost without thinking.
Works for me….and our credit score is somewhere over 900 now. Plus, the only debt we have left is the mortgage.
Giving up control of our finances is probably the best decision I’ve ever made. Well, that…and marrying her! (also doesn't hurt that she's blonde, blue eyed, athletic, 10 years younger than me and has a libido that I can barely keep up with!)
We're only a few miles across 29 in the Dolgeville / Stratford / Pleasant Lake area . Always looking for an old time water pump that sticks out of the ground .
