Engaged to a Big Spender, But Our Work Styles Clash! 😬💸
Hey friends, I need some advice. I’m a 55-year-old who’s worked hard to rebuild my finances after a tough divorce. I’m finally in a good place, coasting toward retirement, and proud of my frugal habits. Next year, I’m marrying an amazing woman—but she’s the total opposite when it comes to money.
She’s got two mortgages, credit card debt, and no savings. At work, she’s always the one buying lunch for the team and splurging on every office event. Meanwhile, I’m the one bringing leftovers and tracking every dollar. She admits she wants to change, but we’re still miles apart in how we handle daily spending and financial decisions.
We plan to live together before tying the knot, hoping she’ll show some new habits. But honestly, I’m worried about how our different approaches to money will affect our future—especially in the workplace, where our spending habits are so visible. Has anyone managed to bridge this kind of gap? I’d love to hear your stories and advice! 🤔💬
