It isn't that money causes the M to fail. I feel very disrespected, unappreciated, used, and taken for granted when she spends and "expects" me to be able to cover it by working longer, harder, etc. That is what boils my blood. It almost isn't even about the spending. I am also trying to teach my boys about financial discipline, wants versus needs, and appreciation for the simple things. I would like our money to make things easier for them, not harder. It seems too idealistic but I am going to try.
