Not for one second do I fail to appreciate that my partner is on the same page as I am. It is true that I'm the more motivated as I'm more take charge as I came from a more humble early homelife but both of us being in agreement on the basic plan makes things much easier when we have to make a tough decision regarding finances. We drove a total ramshackle car for the last 4 years, it was not easy on the eyes, but we took care of it like it was brand new. Our work commute is 100 miles per day, we commute together although we work for different employers, but that car ran and ran finally we saved up enough to replace it which we did last May.
