We all know relationships can be very expensive. And I'm not saying it's a bad thing to spend money. I'm asking an easy question, and maybe you haven't thought about it, but do you budget how much you spend on a relationship and what's appropriate for an early or a long-term relationship? much is spent.

I am so glad you brought this up because knock on wood, I have a healthy and happy relationship with my partner and I feel like a huge part of that was because we communicated very early on what we expected in terms of costs. And I'm not looking for something big and expensive and fancy. I'm just looking to have a good time and get to know him better. So we invested in each other in different ways, like he'll buy dinner one time, then the next time, he'll fund an activity, and we just go back and forth because a relationship at the end of the day is a shared commitment.

I think it should be reasonable on how much you spend in a relationship, right? Like it shouldn't really be driven by monetary means. I would say spending more time outweighs your budget. But I guess for an early part of the relationship, I just traditionally do expect the guy to just take me out to a decent place for a first-stage drink.

Do we have is I never thought of this and I have never thought what kind of budget or what about you I would like to spend or I could spend with my boyfriend are dating him so I just I don't know what it games along the way

I've never think of it and actually I don't think girls spend too much money

Me not a material type of person nor am I counting somebody's pockets to see whether or not they're spending a lot of money on me so personally it's not about how much it's about the thought and I'm the type of person that even if somethings $500 or five dollars if I'm giving them something for my heart I would hope they would except it as a love token regardless so I'm not sure

I think it's fine to spend as much as you want as long as it's all in the discretionary spending category. It might be my most recent soundbite that I posted, my all-time favorite Get Your Finances in Order book. It just has the best strategy I have ever come across, at least for in general. And in this case, this would be in the wants section, and I think it's okay to go buck wild as long as you don't dip into the must-haves or the savings. Bye!
