He says budgeting stresses him out. You know what stresses me out? Overdraft fees. Debt. Financial chaos. So I stopped asking him to sit down and “talk numbers.” I light a candle, make a cup of tea, open my Notion dashboard, and start budgeting like it's a ritual. Every Sunday, I update our expenses, plan next week’s meals, and move money into savings buckets. I even made a playlist for it. He still doesn’t care. But when we went to the vet last week and the bill was $489, he looked at me like I was magic when I said, “It’s already covered.” Sometimes the best way to protect your peace is to protect your finances. Even if you're the only one doing it. #Finance #MakeMoney #Marriage
