I really just tried to drill down into everything we realized once we got started. @Lefa - you're welcome, and thank YOU for sharing as well. I feel much better when I know others benefit from or can relate to my posts. It means we might be doing something right. ;-) Thanks for the comments!

My partner and I recently finished our first full, comprehensive budget which I had been pushing him to do with me for a long time. I didn't want to be the gatekeeper saying 'no' to everything, it was really important to me that we both made the decisions about where our money was being spent and what our priorities were. That communication was so important, and while he found it hard to look at the not-so-comforting hard numbers, we're already feeling more in control. This is a fantastic post, thank you.

I can't say I saw immediate results other than being able to see some areas for improvement and creating communication when I started. That is a pretty solid list. of budgeting benefits.
