They have divided their expenditures as his and hers, which includes Hollie's student loans as solely her own (while Sean's education was funded through a scholarship). Generally, Sean pays the bigger items - all which he handles through automatic deductions, so he doesn't even see the bills - but has fewer of them, while Hollie handles smaller expenses but far more of them. The two don't communicate about their finances, which bothers Sean as he feels Hollie is mismanaging her money, while Hollie doesn't want Sean telling her how she should spend her money. Although Hollie does overspend on stuff, Sean in general underestimates the burdens Hollie faces both financially and emotionally with her "half". One example is groceries - Hollie's side of the budget - which Sean believes should cost no more than $150 a month for the five of them. Hollie is going through added stress as her father is terminally ill, and she wants to take time off to be with him as well as get married before he dies. Sean, however, does not want to get married until their financial house is in order. Their debt currently sits at $31,000 not including their mortgage. Gail wants them to look at their finances more as a team and for them to work as a team. And she wants them to look at their immediate future, most specifically how they can have a wedding on a budget taking into account Hollie's reduced income while she looks after her dad.
