How do you tactfully bring up budgeting with a partner who typically resists any conversation about money?

Budgets and finances are too important to brush off. Suck it up and have the conversation or accept that this is a person you are not financially compatible with and move on. This is a non negotiable thing because it will destroy your relationship, your financial future, and potentially every other relationship you have if you dont.

By offering services like an offer. Like a concept of 'buy one (full price, get one free/half price ' concept. If some coupons/gifts or vouchers, meals out etc are offered then the partner may have a change of mind.

Hey fam, I'm going to Banff in 2 weeks. How bad are the lines to get into parks for lake Louise and lake moraine. I'm staying at the kananaski resort for distance consideration

I find myself questioning basic politeness I’ve learned since a child. Wondering what everyone else thinks. I work with an associate. She’s great. When she does good work or something I’ve asked her to do, I, of course, say “thank you!” I don’t really expect a response. She always replies “you’re welcome!” Or some variation. And for some reason, that’s awkward. Is it just me? I know in normal manners, that is the right response. Why does it sit funny?

Also, don’t have a card that’s big on travel rewards generally.
