Talk each other down
Some days, one person will have more willpower than the other. There might be times when, after a bad day at work, your partner wants to treat himself to some expensive purchase to soothe the pain. Research shows spending money can make us feel happy, after all – but it’s only temporary. You know he’ll just regret that tomorrow. Be willing to give him tough love in those moments. Ask that he do the same for you when you’re the one holding the credit card over the laptop. Whoever is the happiest and most stable that day should be the one calling the financial shots. You’ll be glad your partner talked you out of getting a $200 massage when you were upset you didn’t get a callback for a job.
