husband

August 5th, 2008 at 03:31 pm

Gosh, I am already on here like crazy! But talking to my hubby about money is like talking to a brick wall!! The only way I really get him to agree to do this is to tell him once we get our bills paid off, house set up, emergency fund, and start building on our 401k, he can start building on his car. He has got a 97’ mustang Gt that he loves more than life itself! Me personally, it is sentimental, cause its what we had our first date in and such , but it’s a v8, gas guzzler, that I would delight in seeing roll down a cliff (without hubby in it of course he he) but it is paid off that is the only good thing I can say about it. Last month was hubbys birthday, and before we were even married he had bought this special performance gear to put in his car, and he said that is what he wanted for his b-day, for me to get it put in for him. It wasn’t too much so I agreed. two days after hubby dropped off at the shop my father in-law looks at me and says” you know that car’s gonna be twice as bad on gas milage now!” no. i. did. Not. Thanks for the warning now, pops. I guess that’s what I get for marrying a young guy…a.uh..IMMATURE HUSBAND!! Oh well. He’ll grow up one day. maybe am i the only one who thinks about money? geesh!

    Well, on the bright side, that's why he needs you. Because without you, he'd have a nice car to sleep in and that's about it. Big Grin

    I am having the same problems. Watch Suze Ormans TV show on MSNBC Saturday nights together. She has a way of making money intresting, and that might get him to start thinking about money and savings rather than just wants.

    If you'll get super excited about some long term goals I bet he'll get on board with you, just because you've included some of his in there as well! Good luck. Keep talking and talking and talking. It's about the journey together too, not just the destination, so have a BIT of fun along the way too.
