I love that it sounds like Jeff and you operate the same way! He is also financially-goal-operated and always conscious of spending and saving but not without making sure we have fun too.
He is paying for our rent right now, allowing me to pay off all of my debt. With about 75% of my paychecks going towards my debt, I will be golden by mid-April. I'm so excited and can't wait for this weight to be lifted off my shoulders!
You'd think we were married already, ha, ha. We already operate like everything is "ours!" and not him vs. mine. It's very interesting and different than I'm used to! The crazy part, he's not asking me to pay him back for the rent or for my moving to MN (he paid for that too). He said when he asked me to move, since he knew of my financial status, that he knew what he was getting into and it was "part of the deal". Wow. I try to 'repay' him how I can - by doing as much around the apartment as I can and doing the grocery shopping and the cooking. He seems to be more than OK with it :) What a guy!
I can't say that I'm ALWAYS conscious of spending... there are some times when it is just too easy to keep going and not reign things in a bit. I still have to fight the urge to splurge sometimes, but it isn't very frequent, so I suppose I'm doing alright.
You know, Courtney and I started out in a very similar fashion, and look what happened last May... just sayin'. ;-D
