Cook at home

Use the envelope system
利用信封理财
It's the same idea as using cash for spending, but in addition you use envelopes to split your spending cash into categories. My non-bills categories are groceries, gas and miscellaneous spending. Three envelopes, and when they're empty, I've spent my allotment.
这与使用现金是一个道理，只不过你需要用信封为你的开支分类。我的非支票支出分类如下：日常食品、天然气和其他杂项支出。当这三个信封一空，我就不再乱花钱了。
Talk with your lover weekly
每周与你的爱人聊聊天
It's important that you and your significant other be on the same page. A weekly meeting of just 20 minutes. Communication is the key.
你的爱人是否与你同步是很重要的。建议你们每周开个20分钟的小会。总之，沟通是关键。
