90% of the time we are on the same page when it comes to money. Of course he feels that some things I spend money on are unncessary but it goes both ways.

Not really. Only when we spend a thousand dollars (no joke) on gifts for his entire family when we visit them, but he nickles and dimes about gifts for my family @ xmas time. Makes me really upset.

Not really. Usually it's us trying to argue the other person into spending money on themselves. Like right now we're saving for new iPhones and his phone is way older than mine so I keep telling him he can go ahead and buy one when he's ready and I'll get mine later, but he won't get one unless I do too.

Most of the time we are on the same page. However just yesterday we had a talk and it didn't end well. Its not that I didn't agree with him because I do. However sometimes his ideas do not match with the numbers. So then add in my overly emotional state and he just ended up getting frustrated with me and thought i was fighting him on it. And I wasn't but was telling him the reality of it with the actual numbers.

Sometimes but never over anything serious. We agree on big purchases and if we can't, it doesn't happen.
But since we have had to readjust spending, we've been on the same page.

We don't fight about it, but we do have disagreements. DH is really really frugal, and I'm like it will all work out in the end. It's not like I want to spend every dime we have and buy anything. I only buy stuff we need and will use, and I make sure we have extra money in our account.

We have disagreements as well. Dh downfall is buying 3 coffee's a s day at dunkin donuts plus his awful smoking habits, my downfall is buying the kids stuff they really don't need. If we can both stop this we can save some serious cash...lol. We don't disagree on major purchases just the little things that add up.

We def argue about money. We have the same monetary goals and agree most of the time but we fight about how to get there.
We grew up very differently. I was dirt poor and DH's family was upper middle class so he just doesn't understand when I get stressed out about spending money.
