    Savings!

    Nope, hes pants with money, he gives me half the bills each month and everything goes out of my account as he never knew when stuff was going all so got DD charges each month :rolleyes:

    I have told him that once i am debt free he will have to start saving as we plan to buy a house but i don't want to use house savings for NewYork.
    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month
