It's so true that you need to think about your fiscal coiiitabmlpty when it comes to your significant other. My s/o and I have some coiiitabmlpty, but it drives me nuts that he's 29 and hasn't started a Roth IRA or put any money aside for retirement yet. His savings are minimal. He works Part time and makes a small amount of money covering his basic living expenses. Meanwhile, I am 27 and have a networth of $130k. I wish he'd start to save By the way, I saw you are going to the Personal Finance Bloggers Conference. I just signed up today to attend as well. I look forward to meeting you there!
