Seeking relationship advice- Vol:Balllin' on a budget 2gether!

[leopardbrain]

My boyfriend and I (yes I'm a box lol) are freshmans in College; we've been in a mature relationship together for over a year now so you could imagine how comfortable we are with one another. This morning he texted me an un-sugarcoated fyi, informing me our going outs (dinner, movies, shopping, etc) will have to slow it's roll unless I take over the expenses for now- since he will soon gain more financial responsibilties.

Of course I don't mind having his back till he gets back on his feet. But when he does- I want to start budgeting our expenses (Balance our giving &taking). Any advice how to set limits w/o making money a problem for us.

Thanks NT

Well try to take him out a few times on your dime. He will respect you for that.

Just have movie nights at home. Bring take out whatever it is you guys like and watch a movie or whatever it may be. Might wanna cook food now instead of going out to eat. Sign up for free stuff around your way like cooupons and comedy clubs

Easy, expect to pay dutch every time. However, if you would like to pay or he would like to pay don't expect a return in the future. And btw, your relationship isn't mature if your both college freshman. Just saying...

Netflix is a great investment. Lots of movies and you can just cook at home. Saves tons of money. Do game nights as well.
