I think one day I’ll understand this but right now I’m just confused on the whole sharing money with husband type person. I’d love to share my future husband’s money because who knows what “famous” blog I’ll be living off of by then BUT will he get mad when I buy whatever I want? I think so.
So. Right now I can be really responsible or really irresponsible and NO one cares (except my sis and maybe Courtney because she helps me budget and they want the best for me) because it’s my money. Allllll mine. If I want to buy a flight somewhere and dip into savings I can do it. If I want to eat an Amy’s burrito and save money for 10 bloody mary’s on Saturday I can do that too. I don’t have to ask anyone for permission. INDEPENDENCE to the max.
(sidenote I almost just sent a work email with 4 sentences each ending in and exclamation point…)
Say my future husband makes lots of $$$ and I make barely any teaching yoga and being “famous” and I use ALL the money I make on pretty things? Is my yoga money my husband’s money too because he shares his with me? If we share it all will I have to ASK if I can buy 5 lululemon outfits?!?
I think every future couple is different. I just had a small convo at lunch that left me confused because one person wants an ipad and person who makes money is like hell noooo.
I guess another reason to embrace my singleness. Dear future husband, I will probably not cook, will try to be a photographer and famous blogger, and will workout all the time. I can also have a real job too! Like an event planner. I am organized. I probably won’t pack for you for vacations. I don’t understand that. I don’t know what you want to wear. Man society puts so much pressure on guys. Lots of woman want to have careers and I respect that. I may want one too I can’t decide yet (I guess I sort of have a career right now!) but like…. sometimes sitting in yoga pants and working out all day and sitting at a coffee shop sounds awesome.
I sound TERRRIBLE I know. but like deep down you know you want this too :)
