I am not good with money, but thankfully my wife is very thrifty so it balances out.
When we first met I’d managed to get completely out of debt, but didn’t have any money in my account at the end of the month. Meanwhile my wife had scrimped and saved everything but hadn’t done anything that cost money for years.
Together we saved very well, and also went and had some really good experiences. Now, after 10 years we have our own modest place, zero debt, and enough in the bank that I need to look at investing it (as ethically as possible) so it doesn’t loose it’s value.
