Opposites Do Attract

Hey everyone sorry I’ve been slacking on my comments lately, with 4 summer classes and a new job as an MSR I’ve been so busy I forgot all about posting to the website. But while being so busy I found a little time for hang out with friends. Yet I began to notice something with two of my friends whom just some happen to be dating. The difference in how each of them spend there money. Now both of them have part time jobs with about the same pay and same amount of hours weekly. Even though you would think there savings account would be about equal they are totally different. The women of the relationship never would buy anything for herself only for her boyfriend. And just things that he wants, but things that she thinks he may want, no matter what the price. She has no problem spending her money for entertainment like going to six flags or to the movie. Yet now she can’t due to her spending habits, her bank statement had 2 cents in her checking and 20 dollars in her savings. Now you would think the man would be exactly the same way, but it’s totally opposite. He too did not want to spend his money, not because of lack of funds just lack of wanting to spend his own money. Also he had every little knowledge of how to spend his money wisely. He had applied for over 15 credit cards and had been turned down for every single one. Also he feel paying at a discount was stupid, and would wait for a sale to be over with before he bought the product. So in the relationship we had one person who knew a lot about the concept of money, but could not hold back when she thought someone she loved wanted something. And other who had no concept of how to budget his money, but didn’t want anything unless someone else paid.
Does anyone know someone like either one of these people, or have any ideas how to get their savings account some what equal?
