 When A Saver and a Spender Become a Couple
from Bigg Success
September 15, 2008
We re told that opposites attract. We also hear that money is one of the most frequent things couples argue about. In a lot of relationships, there s a saver and a spender. Or maybe both people are spenders, but they spend differently. One likes to buy bigg ticket items infrequently while the other spends a little bit of money on daily extravagances. ___ ___ ___ We re both pretty frugal, but I have to admit I do like my gadgets. We were at a conference recently and there was a microphone I just had to have! And of course, I do like my clothes. ___ ___ And I like to go out for dinner more often than Mary-Lynn. Do you suppose that has anything to do with the fact that I m the one who usually cooks dinner? ___ How to come to an agreement on the family finances We ve found a good way to reach an agreement, on how your household saves and spends money, is to hold a summit! Heads of state do it; why shouldn t you? This summit has a three-fold purpose: #1 Values You each need to fully understand where the other person is coming from. What s important to him or her? By knowing each other s values when it comes to money, you ll be more flexible in your own financial decisions. For example, a saver may value being debt-free. A spender may think it s important to live a little now. Both positions can easily be defended. If you understand why it s so important to your spouse, you ll be more willing to accommodate his or her desires. You ll find that you re more flexible in looking for solutions. #2 Goals Now that you have a good grasp of your respective values, you can discuss mutual goals. Only now you can both work to help each other get what s important. So the spender will try to find ways to reduce debt. And the saver will see that buying a toy once in a while makes the spender more committed to saving. It s win win! #3 Strategies You can t stop now. With your goals in mind, develop specific strategies. For example, you may each set aside a certain amount from each of your paychecks for debt reduction and that certain toy. You re working together to get more than you could get working alone! ___ Get the tips and tools you need to be a BIGG success.
