    Thanks, Tom.

    And Teresa, great to hear about how helpful a budget has been in your marriage. It’s often a tough sell in workshops. It helps when others share their positive experiences with budgets, so I appreciate you taking the time to write.

    Matt, I always enjoy your articles, but I think this one is the most important. My husband and I sat down and created a budget when we got engaged. We used it to budget for our wedding, and then for our on-going expenses. Although, our budget has changed over the years to reflect our changing circumstances, it has consistantly helped us to stay on the same path and avoid unnecessary confrontation.
