I have never been all that good with money. Once upon a time I would view each paycheque as containing the precise amount of dollars that I could spend. I tried to save but I really just didn't have the discipline/desire for it. More than once my mum has come to my rescue bailing me out of debt to my eternal thanks and utter embarrassment.
Nowadays I am a better, but I always thought I would end up with someone who was good with a budget and could help me manage my money. No such luck. G is many things, but a money manager he is not. While he doesn't go for my not so effective avoidance technique (if I just avoid checking my bank balance all will be ok), he too sucks at saving and doesn't make the best money choices either.
As we move forward together as a couple I wonder the best way to work that? Perhaps this is the push I need to become better at handling finances because I simply must? However I don't want to be seen as the one who rules our bank account with an iron fist-maybe it is both of us who must work on this?
And I also wonder how other couples handle their finances? We want to have money that is just ours for presents and items we want to buy for ourselves, but we feel and want to have most of our money as joint money for groceries, gas, meals out etc. How do other people do this I would love to know?

Wanting to be a member of the sleep in club!
:::
Over the past two years I have been in school, I have not had a lot of early morning classes. In fact until last term classes tended to start around 9 or 10, sometimes as late in the day as 5! Before I got my job I would spend my time sleeping in, doing homework and doing stuff around the house. Now that I work 3 days a week I find that I have less time to do other stuff. When I have class after work I tend to get home just exhausted and can't seem to get my act together to get stuff done. I think I can sort it out for when I'm just working, but I find it hard to get myself out of bed every morning! This makes me somewhat nervous for when I have kids, how the heck can I get myself and them ready to face the day?
