The feeling of not being able to ‘chip in’ and contribute is an understandable one but remember that a partnership is just that; a joint effort or the dictionary definition: ‘a pair of people engaged together in the same activity’.

Don’t forget to remind yourself of what you contribute, beyond the pay check.All that being said, money matters.

It is by far the most under-utilised saving tool and a personal fave.
