Can a scrimper make things work with a high roller?
DEAR ABBY: I have been in my relationship for almost five years and believe that “nothing is constant but change.”
My partner has caviar taste with tuna fish money. They like expensive things but can’t afford to maintain them. They rob from Peter to pay Paul, make purchases with high-interest charge cards and complain constantly they don’t have any extra money. They are presently looking for another job to make more money to spend.
I live on a fixed income. I’m trying to control spending but end up in arguments about not having money to do things.
My partner has mastered the art of spending other people’s money, including mine, which I think is selfish.
Any suggestions about how to work out these money issues?
