This will overcome any financial couple disagreement; a good, accurate and gracious budgeting will solve couples discrepancy.

You are saying "Understand us poor men. There are some things we are so bad at." Shouldn't we also be looking at the way women get things wrong. I can't help noticing how advertising and the media urge women to spend, but never encourage women to take responsibility for financial decisions. If you don't believe me, look for an article in a women's magazine on managing finances. However, very often (not always!) it is women who make the financial decisions. If you don't believe me, look at how many advertisements for family cars are aimed at women and not men. The result is a society that is swamped with consumer debt. Don't get me wrong. I am saying something about advertising and media - not women. Women shouldn't be asked to understand men's failings better; they should look at the difficulties and temptations that are put in their way. I’m not sure I agree with your approach.

LOL. My guy is the one who has taught me how to cook (a little - although I have a long ways to go), the proper way to fold laundry, etc. In fact, he's the one who would suggest we spend money on decorating, before I'd ever feel right parting with it for that reason. He's also the one who's better with finances and got me back on track after I let my new habit of inputting expenses into Microsoft Money slip for three months. What would I do without him to get (and keep) me on track? Whew. Somewhere along the way I missed all of those lessons. Never learned them at home. Lived in Army barracks with a poster or two on the walls for years. My apartments have always looked like bachelor pads. I wish they taught this stuff in college, because it's been a long, hard road for me. I think I’m from another planet. LOL.

Go to school, study hard, get a good job that pays well (BIG BUCKS). Then all of the things listed here "might" matter, but/cause if you don't have big bucks in this 21st century, to woman you are a nobody. Love looks good on paper and a lot of big talk, but with no money it is as good as ficticous. So study hard and get that job, the big bucks; and pray somebody doesn't run you over with a big truck and take your health and life (like me), as woman will not want you unless you have big bucks!
