How long did it take to see eye to eye...

on finances? For some reason, no matter how well you prepare or talk about it I feel like finances are always an issue in a marriage.

I'm wondering how long it took people to finally get on the same page with their SO or spouse when it came to money.

And what measures did you take to get on the same page?

We were already on the same page when we met. That was a discussion we had early.

Can you elaborate OP?

Are you referring to spending habits, how to save, paying bills or what?

Whether it's spending, saving or not earning enough.

It's also about accepting people's limitations. I'm not willing to help him manage his money because that goes beyond my realm of responsibility. BUT I already know when it comes to household bills or bills that affect our livelihood, I will manage alladat.
A) I like doing it and B) I do a better job than he does.

No one is perfect but having the system in place for the machine to work right is key.
