when money talks
…WHO SHOULD LISTEN?
one of the most common advice newly-weds get is that they should never argue or fight about money. for many, it is easier said than done. i’ve witnessed some marriages fell apart because of financial issues. so disheartening…
taking into consideration that money is one important aspect in a marriage, how can it refuse to be the center of disagreement?
since hubby and i got married, we’re blessed not to have serious financial problems and so, money has never been a cause of a serious fight. though we argue sometimes, we still have it fixed after a couple of minutes of trying to have a grasp of each other’s financial outlook. our conflicting styles in managing finances may be hard to compromise, but we work hard in finding a middle ground.
i just want to share that we really are so grateful for the abundance of God’s graces in our family. i’m not saying that we’re leading a prosperous life. we’re not yet there, though i know in time we’ll get there.
we still don’t have our own house, our own business. we still can’t splurge on anything that catches our fancy. what we have is just enough to give ourselves a comfortable and healthy life. and for that we’re really thankful.
We’re constantly praying that He’ll provide us enough to get us through all the crises the whole world is facing. With all prices of commodities rising, how can a parent not be afraid? All parents certainly want to give the best life they can for their kids, and, in one way or another, money is essential for achieving this purpose.
