    I'll admit I've budged on the budget a bit, but I'm still more strict. I'm a full-time student, so FH is paying for pretty much the entire wedding. Because he's paying, I want to save him (and us) as much money as possible for our future together. He's a bit more lax on his spending though, even though he is a little bit conscious about not spending TOO much.

    Oh my sweet lord, me. The man had never heard of financial responsibility prior to dating me. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m the other extreme, I love to budget 🤪

    Definitely me but it's always that way with even normal living costs, etc. My husband also doesn't care so much about money as much as what I want to get to be happy but I also am very tight with our luxuries and known in the family for putting myself last. He never really was bothered so much with what we were buying or paying for but I get the bills paid and watch our pennies more then he does as well.

    He could careless... and I think that's because he knows I have taken care of it!

    We both are very strict and frugal. I’m the one writing the checks though, so I would say me.

    I think we're about even on this one. We are both very conscious of money, planning and our goals together financially.

    My fiancé is more strict to stick to the budget. However, he’s willing to bend a little, just a little.

    I think he is
    I do tend to splurge at times but if I am saving up for something I do keep a budget

    Me! He honestly doesn't care about ANYTHING! But we have also changed our budget a couple times. This time it's set in stone and we've been doing pretty good about the whole thing.
