I don't want my relationship to come down to a money issue, but I'm in a serious relationship, and my partner is horrible with money. He'll save up long enough to get a car on the road, or buy something that he wants, but he never just saves up thinking that he may need a little extra cash in the future. I know people shouldn't have to constantly obsess over saving money, but I want to get into some more traveling within the next few years, and do some big things that do require savings. And then if kids ever came in the picture, I know we'd be seriously screwed.
I know you can't tell me exactly what to do without knowing us, but do people with these tendencies become financial burdens for their whole lives? What could I do to make a change? I love him, but I'm seriously concerned for my own future because of the bad spending habits.
