Heres something I did early in my marriage.

I took the money I had for the month, or bi=weekly, or whatever, and divided it equally into either 4 weeks, or 2 weeks, etc. and I put equal amounts into envelopes. Those envelopes were NOT TO BE TOUCHED until the bills or rent or whatever was to be paid. That money was ONLY for the bills. You could NOT use it for food, for play time, or anything else. Only the bills, and it seemed to work for me. I HAD TO TRUST MYSELF, and it made my self-esteem go up because I knew I could trust ME.

Maybe it will work for you too. It's worth a try. Best of luck! And remember, don't touch that money! Hugs, Lee
