10 分钟Here's your Money Briefing for Friday, June 13.
I'm Oyin Adedoyin for The Wall Street Journal.
Relationships are all about give and take.
But what do you do when your partner is a big spender and you only shop when things are on sale?
It's never fun to be like the person who's policing like how much money everybody's spending.
That kind of voice of the sort of sensible person, even if you're kind of in the right,
it's just... not very appealing to be that person.
We'll talk with Wall Street Journal personal space columnist Katie Roy Fee about how she and her husband navigate being polar opposites when it comes to spending.
That's after the break.
It's often said that opposites attract but what
if you and your partner have completely different relationships with money?
Wall Street Journal columnist Katie Roy fee joins me to talk about how she navigates this in her own marriage So Katie,
can you describe your spending style to me and then describe your husband's I would put myself in this sort of frugal neurotic category where I'm constantly imagining like cataclysmic financial ruin.
I like a sale.
I like a bargain.
I hate a restaurant where an entree is $43.
Like that just does not feel fun to me.
And so I would say I'm just cautious.
And my husband is the opposite.
There's some like shockingly expensive pair of socks that he absolutely must have.
