...anybody got any?
First of all I want to say that my DH is a wonderful, intelligent and hard working man and I am very fortunate to have him in my life.
That being said, I find it difficult to get him involved in our finances. I have always been the saver and he the spender, but it has worked out ok. I have always paid the bills and kept up with our finances.
It took me 3 months, for example, to get him to get serious about moving an annuity to Fidelity. Since he would like to retire in 2 years, I've really been putting my nose to the grindstone and am doing everything I can to reach that goal.
His job is stressful, so I don't bring financial issues up very often. Most times he just wants to relax or busy himself with his hobbies. I can understand that and I don't want to nag him, but he needs to be more involved. We have talked about this some, and he says he should spend more time on it, but he keeps putting it off.
Has anyone else been through this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
