Um, I guess I'll say my question first.

Um,

I'm trying to figure out how to work together with my spouse in budgeting and doing bills and stuff when they struggle with not being great at finances and not being great at paying bills and stuff.

And so I just wanted some encouragement on how to work together with my spouse or when I'm the nerd and he's the free spirit and trying to figure that out.

I'm good at it, but my health sometimes makes it really challenging to keep up with everything.

I have, like, autoimmune disease and stuff, and I also deal with, like, regular sicknesses, and I'm pregnant.

Yeah, yeah.

Is he willing?

My husband appreciates it.

He does appreciate it and tries to help.

He's just not...

great at it, and he works a lot, so...

I have auto pay set up on everything I possibly can.

My biggest struggle is

I get lots of new bills.

So I feel like every month there's always a new bill and always something that needs to be set up on payment plans and something that needs to be uploaded to our insurance.

And so I get overwhelmed because I'll just fall behind on those things.

And I ask him to help me, but he doesn't.

I don't know if it's just because he's never good at planning much with anything, let alone bills.

And so when I ask him to help me with something, a month or two will go by and he'll have not touched it yet.
