Opposites can't go down together

I am a spender; spendthrift while my husband is a saver; thrifty. We are just the opposite but I am glad because we won't have to worry about going down together...LOL. Although he does get carried away with over buying sometimes, he still manages to save money. He usually spends big when it comes to the sentimental stuff. That just reminds me back when he was still working; because he spent a lot of money giving us gifts and putting me up in a hotel for almost a year. He sent us boxes of goodies and money every month (ever since he responded to my first letter to him) until he brought me over to America. We all enjoyed the treats we received from him. So I thought he would be the man for me because he is so kind and generous. He actually captured my heart with all the sweet and thoughtful things he did for me. He requested songs on the radio, sent me beautiful cards, flowers, and chocolates to show his romantic side. I had fun being pampered really, and just who wouldn't anyway? My aunt and I had the most fun living like a couple of princesses-it was our 15 minute fame and fortune-in our short-lived fairytale life…LOL. She and I enjoyed it while it lasted as she was mostly my companion the whole time I was staying at the hotel.
As for my husband, I am proud to say that he is very good with money, frugal in his ways and would not even want to owe anything. He avoids getting buried in debt whenever possible because he knows that living in luxury is not always a good idea. He experienced just about everything in his lifetime that he is wise to that now-he knows better. That is why we settle with living just enough for us to feel comfortable. My husband is not extravagant. However, when it comes to the gift-giving; especially during the holidays and birthdays my husband just over spends. He is definitely for the joy of giving and making our children happy. He has a tendency to become a shopaholic in an effort to please his loved ones. While I only buy a few things, but I make sure though that my gifts are entertaining as well as educational. I spend big, too, because I like to lavish my loved ones with gifts. I am that kind of person, and when I give, it has to be something worth keeping. It also goes with having friends; I don't have many but a few good ones. Anyway, I just seem to enjoy sharing what life is like and how it has been with me. I don't care what people say anymore as long as I enjoy my time blogging. I can only say that my husband and I make a good match, and I guess most people end up marrying their opposites. That is usually how it goes.
