How to manage partner who isn’t really buying into this budgeting style
Hi!
I’m new to ynab but have done cash envelopes in the past, which were great but also really challenging because it’s annoying to use cash to try and pay for your Spotify subscription, y’know?
But my husband and I have been sort of spending willy nilly for a while, doing big house projects, buying a newer vehicle, etc; and I’m trying to get us back on track. I’ve gone through all of our joint/household expenses and with each paycheck we’re each going to transfer the amount we need to cover joint expenses into a joint checking acct to cover those, and leave the remainder in our own accts. (We are fairly equal earners and are ok going 50/50)
From there, I’m going to break my personal checking acct down into categories. But husby isn’t interested. Can I just categorize “his” money as like “Husby fun money” and not worry about it? Or is there a reason that I can’t see why that wouldn’t work?
