As many of you know I am getting married April 25th 2009. My soon to be wife is just awesome, she is just the best.

When it comes to money we are very different, usually when two people are getting married one is a spender and one is a saver. We actually have a different problem. We are both savers but different styles!

She tends to hoard money in low yielding savings accounts, me on the other hand I tend to put money in mutual funds and individual stocks.

After much discussion I finally convince her to open her first Roth IRA that is in a mutual fund, I think she understands the importance of investing but doesn’t really understand it enough to be comfortable actually doing it.

One this she IS awesome at is looking for deals while shopping. One of our first real money fights was when we both went to the grocery store and I just grabbed something without looking for the cheapest brand.

Overall, I think out financial styles will merge quite well and things will work out great, but it goes to show it is hard when getting married because you are also merging two different financial styles.
