[quote=SHESGOTTOBE,257657]Reverse situation: The husband is rich but he got rich because he tried to save any money he could in his early years and was able to build a business. The wife was poor before so now, she starts to spend all the money for branded clothes, jewelry etc. She has that excited feeling about wealth because she never had it before. So it’s really not about who has the money but the attitude towards money. In the situation you presented, you have to ask, why does she wants to save anything that could be saved? What does she intends to do with the money that was saved? Could it be that she wanted for them to buy a house or a car or put up a business? They can’t have a happy marriage if they don’t share the same goals, don’t you think? Maybe they should have talked about their goals before they even got married. This is why I can’t understand how people can get married without knowing each other’s heart and soul. Maybe if the other party will just keep on agreeing, the marriage will last but that does not necessarily mean a happy marriage now, is it? It’s just an existing marriage, period. Anything too much is not good. Too much spending or too much saving is not good. There has to be some middle ground. People have to learn how to compromise and not be confrontational. I think bull-headed people are not happy and they can’t be happy unless they try to loosen up. But to compromise, you have to care about the other person first. And you can’t care if love doesn’t exist. There was a man here in America who worked and saved all his life. He lived in a simple house, no family (no heirs) and never bought anything luxurious. When he died, it was found out that he was able to save more than a million dollars. Maybe he was contented with his life. Or maybe I am being naïve but I just can’t see the point. [/quote]
