Book review: Things I wish I'd known before we got married
GARY'S STORY
When Karolyn and I were in a relationship and later decided to get married, it never crossed my mind that we needed to discuss we would handle our finances. Neither of us had any money. After all, we both were recent college graduates. During our college we both lived in dormitories. I had never rented an apartment, never paid an electric bill, never had a car payment, and seldom ever bought clothes. I worked part time to pay my college expenses. After my junior year my parents were kind enough to give me a car and pay the insurance. The clothes I wore came as gifts from my family at Christmas and on birthdays.
Karolyn's experience was similar except that before enrolling in college, she worked full-time for one year, he had her own apartment, and paid her own bills.
The only financial plan we had was that she had agreed to work full-time while I pursued graduate studies full-time. That plan lasted two months. Karolyn's job required her to begin work at 5:30am. She is not a "morning person." Her health was sprawling downward, and we both agreed that this plan was not working. We both decided that we would both look for part time, afternoon jobs.
To be continued tomorrow by God's grace
