We go over Mint every few days to check in with the spending, and if one of us pays a bill, we tell the other as we do it. It works for us to both be equally involved in the finances.

We’ve only been living together for a few months so we’re still navigating our finances together. I think probably a little more focused on our joint expenses than my boyfriend. Last weekend I totally cracked it because our grocery spend had just gotten astronomical. I wrote out a whole meal plan for the week and TOLD my boyfriend he could only buy what was on the grocery list. I think he was a little taken aback, but we’ve spent $60 for a week of groceries so I guess I win that argument ;)

I wear the budgeting pants in the relationship and my husband is in medicine, as well! He has never been into budgets and finance so he happily gave those responsibilities to me. I love being the CFO of the household and I let him take the reigns for all other decision-making.

My boyfriend lives pretty frugally but when it comes to keeping track of a budget, he’s very unorganized. That kind of stuff is actually interesting and (dare I say) fun to me so I don’t mind one bit!
