Just realized how differently my wife and I handle our credit card debt
She wanted to ignore the $8,000 balance and hope for the best, but I insisted we make a real budget and pay $400 a month. After six months, the balance is finally dropping and the stress is way lower. Why is it so hard to just talk about money with the person you share a life with?

Money talk feels so loaded because it's never just about numbers, is it? It ties into our fears and how we were raised. You guys found a system that works, which is the main thing.

Just had to make the budget a no-shame zone first.

Remember when I thought budgets were just math? @simonb92 is right, it's all the other stuff that makes it hard.
