we both have full time jobs, no kids, and tend to spend weekends away. We do not talk about our finances or FF status, but they have manged to figure out. I've even tried to help them with their finances/investment and airline deals, yet they do not pay attention. Its too complicated, they rather have someone else do it for them. I really do not think it is complicated, at least the airlines deals. I get asked to find deals for others, unfortunatley, they are not loyal to any carrier, and yet they cry foul at paying for luggage, carry on, seat selection, etc, even standing in line. Guess I'm not the only one with the same problem.
