What to do if your significant other spends a lot: how not to argue with your partner over money
Money often becomes a cause of conflict in couples.
What should you do if you earn approximately the same salary, but your significant other runs out of money much faster than you?
First, you should find out whether your partner is really too wasteful, or whether it just seems to you that his spending is too much.
To do this, you will have to keep track of your expenses, recording both your boyfriend/girlfriend's expenses and your own.
It is worth monitoring the inflow and outflow of funds for at least a month - the results at the end of this period will certainly surprise you.
For example, it may turn out that the partner really does spend large sums of money, but he spends them not on his own whims, but on household chemicals and food for the whole family.
The list of essentials may vary from person to person. Keep this in mind when you start blaming your other half for the fact that you only get by with one bar of soap a year.
If it turns out that saving is really necessary, a list of expenses will help you analyze your spending and determine what you can do without.
