My wife is a mystery shopper and our date nights out are at restaurants that she gets paid , in most cases 80 % of the tab ! We stay at hotels free , will stay at a Grand Hyatt for two nights , all expenses paid, or just a Marriott . This is how she contributes . Its a bit of work but well worth the compensation and usually the night or weekend out that I don't have to pay for !

3. Make sure that you save at least 3 months worth of living expenses.
4. Try to get into a debit or automatic bill payment system.
5. Get help online and use various budgeting tools.
6. Get yourself some insurance.
7. Save for your major life events.
8. Do not forget your retirement.
9. Build your credit rating as soon as possible.
