I have always been sensible with money, boringly so. Even as a little kid I used to save my pocket money each week and then buy myself something big once every few months – I plan and account for every penny I spend so have never found myself in a financial pickle. My husband – the polar opposite of that, he’s always been a big spender…even when he doesn’t have the money to spend. He’s needed to employ the use of quick upfront cash and payday loan services on many occasion.

When we got together he was heavily in debt, despite that he still kept spending money and this was foreign to me. It took a lot of arguments and compromise and hard work on both our parts to adjust to each others way of dealing with money – and finally after almost 6 years we have now cleared his debts!

I am sure he will probably need another cash advance loan in his lifetime, because despite every thing he’s still a big spender and I am sure if I wasn’t there watching and helping him he would be in debt again within a few months.

It’s just the way we are wired I suppose!
