Hi Friend! Nice to see you here again!

Well, I only have my own experiences to rely on and I will use that to explain to you, the best I can, how you can turn the situation around. I don’t mean how you can trick your partner into doing exactly what you want (but if you do figure it out let me know… research, of course!!) 😉

Seriously, I actually deal with this on a daily basis. I’m an “experiences“ kind of person and my better half, yes my husband, is a “things“ person. I’m sure you’ve had a little time to go over the differences but, let’s just name a few so that we are on the same page!

Me, The “Experiences all the way“ half of the marriage:

Love going to a restaurant and having an entrée as well as the cocktail, the main course, dessert and the wine to go with it all!

My husband, The “I love all things and I will pay extra for the one that gives me five more minutes of light in it’s overall life time“ half of the marriage:

Loves connected “everything“ at home, cars, watches, splurges on a bottle of Rum (but not on a shot of Rum at the restaurant) and tools (I doubt if he even knows what half of them do…)

See the difference? If you’ve been hanging around here for a while, you know that I love a nice Carolina Herrera bag that is probably way too pricey for what it actually is, but, if I have to choose between the bag and a trip to Bali, you bet your buns I’m going to take the trip! Sure it’s only a week but imagine the sunsets, the food and the drink and the sandy beaches and the plane ride (I love plane rides and plane food, hey! no judgement here and no I don’t need to fly executive to enjoy it!).

Now, ideally, I’ll have both thank you very much! But that’s not the reality for most of us! And I know what brings me more pleasure, and it’s going anywhere, as long as I’m going and I’m experiencing something new.

For my husband, this was just a waste of money, because at the end of that week you were left with… well, memories and a magnet for the fridge and not much else…

We both lived the same experience in very different ways! But, we’ve been together now longer than we’ve been apart so, we kinda rubbed off on each other. I think he now enjoys Experiences way too much!

One way you can support me and the work I’m doing is going to my website and subscribing to the newsletter that comes out once a week or buy one of my books available on Amazon. This way you can support me and get started on your new financial journey!
