I don't know about you UltArc, but money is "ours" in the relationship. Every dollar she saves, we save. It's more to put towards travel/school/investments/retirement.

At one point, I had a house full of roommates and knew I couldn't convince them to conserve since their rent was a single flat rate per month. Instead of getting mad about bathroom fans being left on or lights not getting turned off, I changed everything to timer switches and installed energy efficient aerators, lightbulbs, etc.

There is no sense getting upset about the petty differences in a relationship... but I've only been married 6 months, so it's easy for me to say at this point.
