Dominic wanted to secure his marriage with Abigail. He went through the listings of ‘Trinity homes’ on the MPS Home Solutions website. Judging Abigail’s hesitance he showed her the chosen property. Abigail was over the moon. They bought the house and soon got married.
Dominic met Abigail a few years ago. He was very shy to even approach her. When a mutual friend introduced them, he could not even muster the necessary courage to ask for her contact number. Abigail understood the vibes and asked him politely for a lift. She made an excuse that it was hard to get cabs at that hour. Dominic dropped her at home. They finally exchanged their numbers when Dominic overcame his timidity.
For about one year, they could not meet as Dominic drifted to another state for work-related issues. They just spoke over the phone. They made a connection which felt real. They loved talking to each other. They could speak for hours and not get tired. Their love blossomed over the phone. They found so much in common.
Finally, Dominic came back to Florida. They soon moved in together. Though they gelled very well, there was would always banter over financial issues. They had contrasting viewpoints over money. Dominic was a lifetime saver and a frugal guy. Abigail, on the other hand, wanted to live her life to the fullest. Whereas Dominic considered the money as a vehicle to achieve his goals for Abigail money was meant to be spent on necessary and fun things. Of course, for her, excitement was also a necessary part of her existence.
Friction started to arise from their different way of lifestyles. Abigail normally would make fun of Dominic by calling him cheap. She would, however, beg for his support when she would be seeking something expensive to buy via a loan. Dominic was, however smart enough to not fall into the trap. He would always say to her that he did not intend to get into her mess. Abigail would compare the credit ratings and always lament that if she had good credit like that of Dominic, she would have got her favorite items much cheaper and at low-interest rates.
What Abigail could not understand is that it takes a certain amount of self-control and conscious efforts to achieve good credit ratings like Dominic. Dominic always exercised self-control and bought necessary things which he could afford easily. He was also very sensible and wise in saving his money regularly. Abigail on the other hand hardly had any savings in his bank account.
Things took a dramatic turn when Dominic proposed Abigail to marry her. Though Abigail loved Dominic, she was however skeptical whether Dominic would stop being so cheap (according to her) and help her like a husband should in her financial obligations and expenditures.
Dominic decided to buy themselves a house with his savings. He checked out the ‘Trinity homes’ listing. Soon one of the Trinity homes caught his eye. Abigail finally understood the value of his frugality when she looked at the house and fell in love with it.She decided to marry him after they moved into the new house.
