Really only in 'consumables' like food, electricity, petrol etc.

Still - the best financial strategy for couples is a 'yours, mine, ours' set up.

I disagree, I prefer a 'his = mine, mine = mine, ours = mine' set up.

I like to think so. But also because he has all the financial risk at the moment, and I have most of the dollars. He took on pretty much all of my "exboyfriend is a cunt and left me in $30k debt" debt for me when GE was fucking me around, to secure a low interest rate with his bank.

Keeper.

Indeed. Also nice to know that someone else will take one for the team. Because that is my philosophy.

I know a couple of people who all their pay goes into the mortgage and they withdraw x amount of cash a week and that's all they have to spend. Works for them quite well. Neither of them have ever had a credit card or loan so I think their mortgage is their first piece of debt.

that is ideally what we are working towards as well.... when we do remeber to get a budget out and leave our cards at home... alot easier said then done

I 'bumped' into RR somewhere different (online) a few years ago, and she is rather a different person off SC. It was strange.
Still quite churchy (and now +2 more kids), but not offensively so.
