Doesn’t have to be that way: I do not think that my wife and I have ever actually “fought” over money. We are both savers, though…

I am single, earn my state minimum wage, and am making student loan payments. I have nothing left over after paying the usual bills and making my student loan payment. Am I a spender? Could I realistically save or invest any money?

I totally agree that communication is the key to working out these issues.

Each couple should set up a few financial goals and set aside a certain amount of money to those goals each month. Then any extra money can be spent and the saver can be more at ease.

A huge part of the struggle between couples is the money issues. You each to the marriage with your plans and if you don’t sit down and talk about it and get on the same plan, you end up with a mess. I’ve found that it’s communication about money and where it goes has brought us closer together. We have shared goals, and that is absolute key in any relationship.

There’s nothing wrong with being a spender or a saver, because our tendencies should balance the others when it’s done right.
