Leo man and Money vs Cancer woman

I've been dating this Leo man for almost two years now, we are engaged. Sometimes, it is just so difficult discussing heavy issues with this Leo without it turning into a huge fight, especially about spending. I love a certain amount of financial security, I think it is always a good idea saving and having money aside for rainy days or any emergency(You never know).
My Leo sees differently, he spendssssss, after he's sorted bills. I don't know how to approach this issue any further. I really wish we were this page we this, We rarely fight, but when we do,it's crazy! and it is always about Money.
I'm not sure how to approach it.

*We were on the same page*

the budget idea is smart but also he probably wants to spend money because he works hard for it and thinks life is too short not to enjoy it. couples fight often about money, it's usually because they see it differently. i am leo woman. i see money to pay bills but also to have fun. my guy is taurus with cancer. he sees money to get what he needs but also it helps give him security. probably best way, have separate bank accounts, each pay towards bills and get to spend own personal money your way.

ahhh ya NO, if you can take two incomes to build even more financial security, a crab would prefer that. sure separate accounts, but i want to trust my partner is a saver like me so we can make some real moves.

It may be a Cancer thing, but financial security and stability are highly important to me, real moves with combined incomes(makes most sense). We are trying to start up a business that's why I really need to address the issue .

Ya'll need to see a marriage counselor and a financial advisor before you get married. This is a red flag. If you don't have the same goals with your money, that's going to be a problem, and will lead to divorce.

Why waste all that money to get married just to spend more money to get divorced and women become poorer after a divorce, saddled with children.

this will irk you long term.

I will definitely start with financial adviser. A marriage counselor before marriage, I'm not sure how'd react when I mention that..lol..

sounds like you need to approach him assertively, explain to him why he should not spend a lot of money and gives him reason that he can agree with, also it Will help if you come up with some sort of budget plan because then everyone will be happy instead of one person being happy, this is a partnership not a dictate ship, marriage suppose to be equal

Thank you! Working on the budget plan already.

The only way to get me to save is to tell me we are saving for something amazing.

Plastic Surgery
My dream home
A 7 series BMW
A Gucci purse

I will save for my kids college fund but I think my 401K and pension contributions are enough. I want to live and see life.

I think Cancers are the best savers in the zodiac. I dated one that would fill the pockets of his coats hanging in the closet with money. $ 1000 per coat and then move on to the next coat.
