The big-purchase rule

Agree a number above which you check with each other.

3 min read

Surprise big purchases are a common source of tension. A simple agreed threshold avoids most of it.

How it works

  • Agree an amount, like $200 or $500
  • Anything above it, you talk about first
  • It applies to both of you equally
  • Personal spending money is outside the rule
