Have you wondered how to budget now that you are partners
Maria and Manuel always argued about how much to spend when eating out. In Chapter 3 of Financial Essentials for Couples you can read how Maria and Manuel solved one of their biggest arguments and balanced their budget at the same time.
“Maria wanted to eat out 2-3 times per week at a reasonably priced restaurant where the bill for two of them was $25-$50. Manuel wanted to go to nicer restaurants and have a glass of wine, so the bills were $90-$120 per meal.” They decided to split the food budget in halve and allow each person to decide haw to spend their portion of the budget.
Does their dilemma sound familiar? You can find their solution to this problem and many other ideas on how to smooth your path to financial independence as a couple.
