I like what you said about identifying goals. If you and your partner are regularly disagreeing/stressed about a topic, then you spend some time identifying the root cause and making goals around it. Using your example of the car repairs, if you are constantly facing unexpected repair costs on your car, maybe a worthy short term goals is buying a new vehicle.

Exactly! There isn't one way to do it. But usually there is a better way and we just have to figure out what it is together.

I love this … transparency is key.

Oh yes!

I know what I want. I just don’t know how to get there. As a person with undiagnosed ADHD, it’s definitely hard to manage money because of the numerous hobbies and activities that catches my attention 😅. The lack of accountability will definitely drive you down hill.

I get that! I think more people struggle with this than you might realize. I would say, there's nothing wrong with having different hobbies and exploring but we just have to budget around it. So before we go off and start funding our new hobby we wait a while, make sure there is room for it in the budget and then we proceed. It's all about PRACTICE.
