I am mid 30s and have saved my whole life. My boyfriend and I are very different financially, he’s an artist and teacher and I am your typical MBA with a good job and a focus on career. I have $3m saved… he .. doesn’t have any debt at least. He thinks I should quit working and weave baskets. I wonder about mingling our finances because he is more of a spender and likes to live life well which is something I could learn from but not the best if I want to stop working someday. I feel like he spends too much on groceries and random hobbies and should be saving more. How do blinders with a nice nest egg deal with having partners who are at a different speed. I’ve thought about diverting some percentage of my pay check to a separate account and commingling the rest. I want to be practical but also avoid lifestyle creep.
I don’t have advice on resolving this, but differing financial views is the #1 reason couples divorce. Don’t sit on this one, actively work it out together. Personally, I just moved on and found someone who’s aligned with my financial outlook and goals.

He should spend his money when he wants to splurge maybe
I’m younger than him and much smarter and richer and better looking, branch swing to me
I don't understand why such established women fall for such totally incompatible men.
Opposites attract ❤️

Run. You will thank me later. If things go south you will have a decided advantage in family court as a woman, but even so family law is utterly brutal towards the higher earning partner.
Run
Run. He will blow up your money and all you’ll be left is an empty basket.
Don't marry him and keep finances separate.
What about the tax benefits?

I am a women and I second this, if you are like me you will always be stressed.
