For years, Paul and I couldn't have money discussions without stress. Candidly, most of the fault lay with me. I tend to feel better when there is more money left than month. And when the savings account could see us through a long line of disasters. And if the next 25 years are carefullly planned out so as to avoid any said disasters. Anybody know what I mean??? Obviously, our reality never matched my fantasy security so I tended to be stressed when we needed to discuss finances. Somehow we made it through and learned alot. The silver lining to my stressed-out state was that I was always primed to learn more ways to cut costs!
