What is your attitude toward money?
For me, I know I view money the wrong way and my husband is the opposite. While we work well together, our sense of money has been hard on our relationship in some ways. I am the spender and don’t like to think about money. As a small business owner, I know I need to face my weaknesses and learn how to understand money better, even though it overwhelms me. Luckily, my husband understands it much better than I do and is very patient at teaching me.

How can your view of money affect the way you live?
For our situation, the way I view money can negatively affect our family if I spend too much on a rug when I “think” we have enough money but should have gone to the gas bill instead. If I don’t talk to my husband first about bigger purchases, it could negatively affect our relationship. Throughout our marriage, this is something I have had to work hard at, communicating first before buying something. My husband and I are quite opposites, he hates spending money and sometimes that is hard on me when I feel so guilty about buying even the smallest thing.
