An Unspoken Money Rule In My Marriage
Transcript
In my marriage, there's this unspoken rule that if we're going to spend over a certain amount of money, that we should just talk to the other person or give the other person a heads up. And that amount of money has like changed. Like when we first got married and we had no money, it was like 50 bucks, right? But now I feel like that number's probably around like 600 to a thousand dollars, just depends. But what is that number in your marriage? Does your marriage have a hard line of if it's over $100? I'm just curious if that's just how it is in my relationship or if that's like a more normal thing.
