Money Matters in Marriage



Edric and I chose to get married young. We were crazy romantics like that. Well, as you all know, love does not put food on the table. Between Edric’s corporate job and my PR work, we were making P40,000, which means we didn’t have a lot of financial liberty. We started off very simply. I was very blessed to have a husband who liked to use a spreadsheet and make year long budget projections. So this is what he did…percentages, budget allocations, monitoring of our spending patterns etc.

Admittedly, I had no idea what it meant to keep a budget. My mom didn’t have to stick to a budget or so it seemed, so I thought that it was normal to be able to spend indiscriminately. She wasn’t an extravagant person so I wasn’t either. She never splurged on designer bags or shoes. My parents were not the type to buy heirloom watches or jewelry either. They invested in travel, land, properties, and businesses.

I find Edric Mendoza very good looking too. Their life is seemingly perfect. It's a match made in heaven.

The pictures in the girls blog point to that. Always sunny and dreamy. Nice. Good for them.

I can't take being around those kinds of people too much.

i partly read 3 entries in her blog, di ko matapos basahin. she is this woman who is in constant adoration of her husband, who thinks she is obligated by the bible to be subservient ekekek and thinks the world owes her understanding. at least that is what i see, wala e di ko matapos basahin yung sinulat nya at ang daming kaartehan so pasensya sya kung mali intindi ko. and in trying to understand her eto late na ako mag-lunch! leche!

siempre, same as those posting is fb na always good life sila. i also think i have a perfect family but i dont see the need to brag about it, anyway blogger siya eh, pangit naman kung puro away nila ng husband yung iblog niya hehe

i'm suspicious of people like that as well. And of "happy" people. imho we all have our dark sides, our bad experiences, and i find people who hide theirs constantly a bit dubious.

Pero pano nga ba ang diskarte nyo? Me sarili ba kayong "stash"? i guess it's a bit more complicated in the US where people can get wiped out from a divorce.

imho, i think OK lang naman if each partner has his/her "own" money, so long as they're not remiss in paying the bills, tuition, etc., or are spending it on luho...lalo na kung babae, usually dehado sa hiwalayan(at least here in PH)

agree. i know of some people who posts in their fb na they are living the life, pero in reality hindi. really true happy people do not need to show everyone their current state.

ganyan din kami, we have our own money as long as na kaya magbayad ng bills. i dont control my wife on what she spends on, kaso ako ang maluho sa amin hehe.

i dont believe in giving my wife my salary. ayoko yung nanghihingi kasi and i dont require her to give me her salary either, we both trust each other on our own personal expenses, but as a guy, i still feel the need to take up more expenses than hers. personally, i alot a monthly budget on car, hobby, travel regardless may planong gumastos o hindi

Traveling is an investment?

In my humble opinion, blogs like hers are a double-edged sword. They can inspire others to live their lives similarly to how they live their seemingly perfect lives or they can make other people miserable by making people feel bad about their own lives.
