Me. He doesn't have many bills to pay and I do and he is very loose and free when it comes to money where as I have everything accounted for down to the penny

He is definitely much more money conscious than I am. I do generally keep an eye on what we're spending but don't go mental if it goes over. He on the other hand. If u say 1, he's spending 1 and not 1.1 lol

He is strict about sticking to the budget but I’m the one who creates the budget and keeps everything organized. We work good that way.

We're equally thrifty, but anything will have to be passed by me before it's allowed out.

Depends on the situation, but he's usually quicker to spend then I am.

I'd say we're evenly matched. As it stands now, our wedding is being saved for by both of us. I've only made one small purchase so far, but I've logged it on my WW budget tool.

My fiance is like a HAWK with our budget, I am more lenient. We have negotiated every contact but to be honest, we live in one of the most expensive states and counties in the country and when we started our budget we tried to use "average" costs to try to decide what was normal, but we will always be on the higher end. My fiance gets emotional about it and I try to stay rational. Yes, it is only one day you shouldn't go into debt over it, but you definitely want it to be a day to remember for the rest of your life! Good Luck

I would say, at this point, we are equally money conscious and super frugal.
