My bf is someone who saves for our future. I'm bothered because of this. He don't want to buy things for himself. Its because he wants to save for our future. His work is not stable. While me, I'm enjoying my life. I do spend and spend. I do save too, but not unlike him that all my earnings will go to savings. I understand that he doesn't earn as much as I do considering that I have a permanent job. Most of the time, I do pay for our dates. Sometimes, he also pays for our dates but not that much. I'm really getting disturbed because of our situation. Last week, his phone was lost and he had to replace it. He's asking me to add cash. I dont know. We're in our 6t year. If you were in my situation, will it also bother you? By the way, our savings will be used for our up coming marriage. Thanks for all your responses!

I think that it is great that he saves so much ,especially with an unstable job. However, you should explain to him that there are certain things - like that lost phone or clothes - that he has to pay for himself.

You can't force him to spend money, but you can not give him any more of your money. I would stop giving him money so he has to buy his own stuff.

I find it admirable that he has the sense to realize that he has to save for the future. I don't agree with you having to add cash to help him replace his phone though. You 2 should have discussions on how you are going to handle money after you get married so that you don't end up having fights over it afterwards..

I say you are very lucky girl. Your boyfriend is responsible and mature. He has the ability of foresight which a handful of people possess.
