Men, Women & Money

How do you and your spouse or partner view money?  Do you think you know what your significant other wants when it comes to how to earn, spend and save those hard-earned bucks?  I learned during my marriage that my then-husband and I had very different ideas when it came to our finances, especially the saving aspect.  Over the past year or so I've had a lot more freedom to do things my own way, something I didn't expect to be a positive feature of divorce.  Big lesson learned!

That said, the cover story of the April 2006 edition of Money Magazine really caught my eye when it arrived in my mailbox today.  I haven't even had time to read the whole special feature yet, but judging by the pull quotes there's a lot of food for thought here.  For instance, only 45% of men think saving for retirement is very important to their wives, whereas 68% of women ranked it as very important! 

This is a huge feature that will get you thinking about how you feel about money and where your opinions lie on the scales described.  Whether you're already permanently "attached" or are considering taking the big leap, this could be a very important article to get you discussing some very vital issues that could affect your relationship and your entire family.  We all know, I think, that Workerettes and their male counterparts view a lot of things differently.  It's crucial that we face this concept and look at it as an opportunity to discuss, grow, learn and compromise, rather than allowing ourselves to be like the man who is quoted by Money saying, "The only time we really talk about money is when there's a problem."

Money is such an important topic for couples to talk about and agree on. Thanks for this interesting post, Melonie.

Thanks for your comment, Easton. I agree with you...money is one of the most important topics for any couple to discuss, especially if they are looking at something long term. My personal belief is that money, kids, and religion are the three issues that can make or break a marriage.
