So my wife and I have made great progress since deciding to live a much more frugal life. I'm in the Navy, retire in four years, maxed out TSP for the first time in 2015 (will continue until I retire), and plan to save as much as possible before I retire.
She's on board with the MM lifestyle and FIRE idea. But here's my problem. She's a SAHM, has never worked, and was never taught the importance of financial management and FI. Her parents pretty much taught her things find a way of paying for themselves. After eight years of marriage, she sees things differently now. She doesn't spend ridiculous sums of money, but does spend without realizing it ($500 unexplained spending per month is not uncommon). Her goal this year, her idea not mine, was to start using cash only and envelopes to help her avoid unnecessary spending.
I've mentioned MMM before and she's checked it out a time or two. But I don't think this blog appeals to her. All that to say, do you guys have any recommendations for blogs/books that may appeal more to a SAHM with Christian values? I don't think she'd enjoy anything that is too specific in terms of explaining financial tools, etc.
Thank you!
