Meredith -- don't worry about me. I was a little disappointed thinking I had made some good progress on my "cleaning out the guest room" project .... but no worries. I am sure I will find a home for the carriers or I will just find a place to relocate them here
Life's too short to worry over the small stuff.
But -- you and your BF do have to find a meeting of the minds on how purchase decisions are made. But it is up to the two of you. I know lots of people have his money and her money. My hubby and I have "our money." We discuss any major purchase like a car or appliance and most certainly family pets -- but not the small stuff. We both know the limits of our extra $$ and stay within. That is how we retired early!
PS -- Don't stay on the couch too long!
