Yeah, DH and I have similar backgrounds on the surface, but not really. My family was wealthy until I was about 13 and then it went to hell when the shoe business left New England. Spent most of my adolescence avoiding my parents and my grandparents did help me. DH comes from more of a blue collar background, where his parents spent everything and his dad was always getting fired. So, he is very good with the money thing, where I just don't like to deal with it.
