Sturgeon Bay financial counselor Gay Pustaver says a person’s upbringing is one of the most common topics brought up during the over 3,000 sessions she has hosted over the years.  Regardless of age or income level, spending and saving differences between couples come up as they share finances with someone else for the first time.
