There are days when I feel that things will never work between me and my husband. We are just two different people, and want different things in life. I like to save so that someday, I won't have to worry about money. The husband is all about living in the now, spend money now to feel good about yourself and worry about everything later. I just don't want to live like that.
Yesterday, he transfered money into his account from our savings, and I nearly had a panic attack. I thought we agreed we wouldn't touch the money, and just pretend the money didn't exist. I was WRONG!! The thing that pissed me off more was that he was using the money on alcohol. I don't know how to get through to him, and make him realize how all this money stuff is important to me.

I fund my $20 Challenge with money I have saved the family (shopping CVS using coupons and selling stuff), and of course Mad Money. That way it is not like I am taking money away from the family.
My $20 Challenge is my Emergency Fund because my DH likes to live in the moment and I NEED the security of an Emergency fund.
