Smart Couples Finish Rich

I would like to recommend a great book for those couples who are ready to do what it takes to get out of debt and do what it takes to have a bright financial future. Smart Couples Finish Rich, by David Bach, helps couples learn how to work together with common goals. Bach shares practical ways to save today and how to build those savings into future wealth. You'll love the simplicity of "The Latte Factor" and you'll be intrigued by the chapter entitled "Increase Your Income by 10 Percent in Nine Weeks".

This isn't just for people who own their own businesses. In fact, if you receive a weekly or bi-weekly paycheck, it should be even easier for you to budget your dollars and start putting away savings today.

Go on and take the challenge. Your patience and determination will be well worth it. If not for yourself, do it for your kids and future generations.

The Dollar Dance

Whether you had one of these at your wedding reception or not, I don't really care. There are many other blogs that will debate the etiquette and/or audacity of them.

I am here to discuss the post-nuptial dollar dance. The wedding is over and the honeymoon bliss is a fading memory. Two bank accounts have now become one. In this blog I will talk about the many different questions and issues that arise not only for new marriage relationships, but for anyone who wants to do it right.

It's time I put my finance major and love of this topic to use. As we go, please email me any questions you would like me to answer regarding banking, investing, credit, budgeting, and the like.

The purpose of this blog is to stop dancing around the subject of money and to start making educated decisions that will lead to a brighter, more financially independent future.

Let's go!
