It may seem like a really low number, but anything over $20.00 for a purchase is discussed between us. It makes it tough to buy presents for each other with out the other one knowing but it can be done. I can honestly say that we are both on the same page with our finances.

For instance, if you one of you falls off the wagon and makes an extravagant purchase, say, for some gadget or another or some clothes then rather than getting mad about it and starting an argument, sit down and talk about it. What made the person make the purchase without consulting the other? Was it stress, typically impulse purchases can be attributed to stressful days. Does the item need to be taken back or can it really be afforded, even if it's over time? The point here is to talk about even the little things when they pop up and stay on the same team.
