HELP! I am working really hard to make a budget every month that can help get us out of debt, but my husband won’t stick to the budget. How do I get him to follow the budget?

When we first started working on a budget, my husband was willing to have a budget, but was not motivate to follow or participate. When made a list of our goals, my husband became very involved and excited. If we met our budget, he realized we would get to do everything we dreamed.
If you are unmotivated, or have a unmotivated partner:
- Sit down with a pen and paper and list out all your dreams.
- What are your dreams?
- Making it through the month without stressing about the money?
- Paying all your bills this month and still have enough to eat!
- Having a savings or emergency fund?
- Paying your childrens’ college?
- Traveling the world?
- Being financially free?
- Donating and serving others?
- Be understanding but realistic by asking, “Will you be able to do the things you listed at the rate you are going?”
