My wife and I have completely different approaches to budgeting and financial planning and we've been trying to merge them for five years without success. She wants to plan every dollar and I prefer to save a cushion and spend more intuitively, and we end up undermining each other's systems instead of finding something that works for both of us.
More people experience this than they realize.
Two people are trying to force their different natural approaches to money into a single system rather than designing something that honors both styles.
