Cold Heart Ca$h
To quote the one and only Marilyn
Monroe: Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. However, when it comes to
relationships money remains a very sensitive subject maybe even a taboo for
some.
I have discussed in a previous
post entitled: “Money the root of all evil “the subject of monetary power in
the new world, but this post will solemnly focus on the actions and reaction of
money in relationships and friendships.
At the top of my head I can
recommend separate accounts, both partners will split the costs of the
household, rent, children expenses, etc… Nonetheless, each will keep a separate
account for his personal needs, hobbies and so long. This is particularly
efficient whether one party has a higher income or a lot of expenses. Women tend
to spend more money on shopping while men will most probably splurge money in
bars and cars. By having your own little savings account you’re able to indulge
in your favorite pass times without getting into fights over personal expenses.
This concept excludes gold
diggers and sugar daddies: when you start spending money uncontrollably there
will come a day when you might run out so good luck keeping that gold digger
next you.
They will all take but never give;
it’s a simple but sad truth. You may be torn between helping someone in need
and the fact they might not repay you, therefore the dynamics or relation will
inevitably change.
They say they will pay you back
but never do, you help someone in need but when the table turns you might not
find them there for moral or financial support.
Success and careers can be a double headed sword, when you find
a job you actually like and excel at it you think they’ll be happy for you but
sometimes you feel as if you’re being punished for finding a successful opportunity.
Furthermore, in this situation I recommend both sides to be understanding,
because in the end you stand together and his/her success is yours too. The
main concern may be if they both work in the same field, then the competitiveness
can become overwhelming and lead the couple to drift apart.
In the end, no one should be the solemn bread provider in
the family unit. It’s a mutual task and both partners help each other and
strive forward. It’s always a good idea
to have pre established fine lines and to discuss all fiscal projects to be
undertaken together.
For one simple reason, it’s not “our money “when it suits
you and it’s “my money” when you want a personal item.
