I figured, why should T take responsibility for my stupid purchases? If it was student debt that might be a different story but since we both paid ours off in 2010 its a non-issue.Morgainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691104266355915134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547584497915236758.post-51825277837193517432013-04-08T12:09:19.005-04:002013-04-08T12:09:19.005-04:00Hi ND Chic,
Well, to be honest, I normally would ...Hi ND Chic,<br /><br />Well, to be honest, I normally would agree with you but since my husband doesn't operate that way, that's not how we've done things so far. <br /><br />He actually has taken over some of my debt onto a credit card with 0% interest but I've paid him back. That was his condition and I agreed to it. I got myself into the mess, I got myself out of it. It helped to have no interest since at the time I couldn't get that for myself. <br /><br />We are trying to keep things as equal as possible. We still have separate accounts and manage our own money separately. We have separate savings accounts and we've been waiting on purchasing a home until I have my 10% saved. Maybe we're just pessimistic and trying to offset the damage if we separate. However, we don't fight over money so its working for us at the time being, so we'll keep with it.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment! :)Morgainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691104266355915134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547584497915236758.post-8237406372420872512013-04-07T19:49:28.609-04:002013-04-07T19:49:28.609-04:00I'm surprised that you said you would pay for ...I'm surprised that you said you would pay for your spouse's debt but they would have to pay it back. I am totally of the mindset that when you're married, its one pot of money. Maybe I see it that way because I brought student loan debt into our marriage but now make significantly more money. To each their own...Nd.chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918828872616125907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547584497915236758.post-74055784032824826842013-04-06T10:35:55.888-04:002013-04-06T10:35:55.888-04:00Hi SDS,

Like I said above, apathy would be the one thing I wouldn't be able to tolerate so if in the first date the guy said he had no ambition and had no idea of what he wanted to do with his life, it would have been a clear indication to me to end it early ;)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Morgainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691104266355915134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547584497915236758.post-7800292246217912402013-04-05T22:30:36.198-04:002013-04-05T22:30:36.198-04:00I think bf and I talked money (not actual salaries...I think bf and I talked money (not actual salaries or anything) but about our jobs and our career goals (as they were related to money) on the first date. We're rebels like that ;-)StudentDebtSurvivorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050904090839247423noreply@blogger.com
