My wife has no clue what our finances look like. Has no interest.

But luckily, that’s because she’s so frugal that she hardly ever buys anything

I plan it. She overspends it.

She spends it before I can plan it

I’m the CFO. She’s the HR Director and COO of Spicoli Corp.

She hates a budget-stresses her out, so have to be careful

This is my wife. However, I'm much more of a spender than she is

No budget. Just don't be stupid. Be frugal. Reduce recurring expenses to minimum

No budget. Spend whatever we want. Plan to die broke and in debt.

52 years in April and ours is pretty much the same. We both respect what we have worked hard to accumulate.
