Taking care of your -own- money, and not being up to your elbows in bills you can't pay is important to me. Other than that, money is a non-issue unless someone who is with us chooses to make it my issue and ask me to manage their funds... and even then, I'll do my best not to have to take that burden on, because no matter -what- you do, if something happens and things don't work out well, there is always the weight of accusation about why the manager of those funds did X and not Y, and it isn't healthy for long-term relationships, in my opinion. Of course, I even tell my offspring who are preparing to marry to keep their finances separate... for the fiscal health of their families -and- themselves.
