Reconfigure Your Budget And Monitor Finances Together
With many married couples, one spouse usually assumes the primary responsibility for handling the household finances.
And since you’ve been enjoying regular income from your job for many years, it’s easy to become accustomed to a higher standard of living without being too concerned about budgeting.
