We are both savers, which tends to be a pretty smooth ride.
I was not particularly a saver before I met her, but neither did I have any real cash flow. I never bought "stuff" in any event. In school, I would blast through $40-50 a night at the bars, 5 times a week, but who doesn't I suppose? Difficult to say whether I would have turned out as much a saver as I am today without her influence.
She's always been a saver, from age 6 or so. I remember a story she told me about having $97.32 or so in the bank account, and then getting together exactly $2.68 and depositing so that she could see the big $100 displayed in her chequebook.
