Keep in mind that what you try must be something truly different. For example,  If you have tried to explain to your spouse 30 times why it is a good idea to be on a budget, the 31^st time won't work either. Explaining louder, more frequently, more simply, or more dramatically will not work either.  Sometimes it takes someone from the outside to help you find a truly different idea so keep reading on this site for ideas.
