Can see sun with head out of sand - 2.5yr

[willbwell]

on the same timeline!! have been ignoring the finances too. h always took care of them. I grew up poor. H grew up not wanting for anything. there was never that financial worry for him.

We blow thru the money. we don't drive super fancy car. I don't buy fancy clothes( I shop at Target while h will shop at Nordstrom)We do though now have the two budgets...his apt, cable, electricity, eating out, gym membership....

H has a nice sum in an inheritance that has only his name on. I am not legally entitled. I have told h that I want 1/2 of that.

I have put the pencil to paper. I know we spend over what h brings in monthly...he pays the overage out of that account that is in his sole name.

I guess I am supposed to consider myself lucky?
I have not brought up the finances conversation with him.
We just continue as normal...

the numbers have always made my head swim. h knows this...

I know this is an underlying fear.I've not worked in 20 years.( yes, I have been lucky) I got to be a volunteer at the kids school.I got to be home for them after I will now be applying for a job as a 50 year old!
