If we had to list the top 3 reasons couples fight, it’s gotta be money, kids, and in-laws, right?
Today's guest can't help you with the last two, but they've got you covered on the first!
Money is an emotional trigger for many couples. Seemingly innocent conversations can lead to heated arguments that can be difficult to resolve and eventually boil over into other areas of the relationship.
Who hasn't had a disagreement with their partner about blown budgets, missed payments, or a lack of the extra income needed to enjoy life?
Today's guest, Stephen Finney, is on a mission to help couples recover from money battles and embarrassment so that they can save, spend, and give according to their goals.
Today, he’s sharing his five-step framework to manage, and most importantly bounce back from heated money arguments with our partners. [8:21]
Growing together as a couple to create a healthy relationship with money is possible once we learn the tools and techniques needed to:
