    He is. He’s so much better with money than I am.

    I'm in charge of the budget and keeping it all in line, he just hands over the money and questions the spending from time to time. He knows I'm trying to get the best deals I can on everything but he's there to keep me grounded when I want to make a frivolous purchase, too.

    I’m definitely a little bit more price conscious and like to stick to a budget more than he does. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word budget come out of his mouth haha.

    Honestly, we both were reasonable and if it was something worth it to both of us it was worth the splurge. He was much less strict than I thought he would be. He kept saying, “well it’s only happening once in our lives so go for it”

    It changes. Sometime I am, sometime he is. It honestly depends on what we’re trying to save for.

    Haha he is. He’s very careful with his money and I’ve always been pretty in the moment with it. Buying things now without thinking. Ha

    "Buying things now without thinking" is exactly how I'd describe myself too!

    That's so impressive!! Do you do the monthly budget reports with the wedding budget or just for budgeting in general?!

    Probably me. He seems a lot less worried about costs where as I am trying really hard to make sure we only spend what we should be.
