Money Matters in Marriage
Edric and I chose to get married young. We were crazy romantics like that. Well, as you all know, love does not put food on the table. Between Edrics corporate job and my PR work, we were making P40,000, which means we didnt have a lot of financial liberty. We started off very simply. I was very blessed to have a husband who liked to use a spreadsheet and make year long budget projections. So this is what he did percentages, budget allocations, monitoring of our spending patterns etc.
Admittedly, I had no idea what it meant to keep a budget. My mom didnt have to stick to a budget or so it seemed, so I thought that it was normal to be able to spend indiscriminately. She wasnt an extravagant person so I wasnt either. She never splurged on designer bags or shoes. My parents were not the type to buy heirloom watches or jewelry either. They invested in travel, land, properties, and businesses.
