<prompt> Human: So I have been with my SO for a little over 2 years and weve been living together for a while. We are both in our mid 20s, 25,26 have full time jobs, and get paid about the same amount of money-- he actually probably gets paid a little more.Now that we are getting older I am trying to save money so we can start traveling, saving up to move somewhere else, ect. The problem is he never seems to have any money left over after we pay rent and utilities and such. Its makes ZERO sense to me, like honestly I have NO idea where his money goes. I am usually the one who buys groceries because I love to cook and make fancy dinners and I usually buy gas for the car we share since its technically mine...but I still seem to have a good amount of money left over at the end of the month where he is always down to his last 20.Ive tried to sit down and talk with him about it but the second I inquire about it he gets really defensive. I know hes not hiding anything crazy from me, I just think hes a bit irresponsible and doesnt keep track of his money like he should.I love him so much and hopefully will be with him for the foreseeable future and Im just looking for some advice to get him to start taking a serious look at his finances. Any tips on helping him save without seeming like his mom???Thanks Reddit!  <response>: This is more of an rrelationships problem. If he doesnt take your concerns seriously, theres an issue.I would tread carefully as a lack of financial concern now wont make things any easier later.
