Every couple argues about money. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for 40 years or dating for 4 months, money touches every decision you make as a couple—from the $5 cup of coffee to the $50,000 car. And when the two of you don’t see eye-to-eye on how much to spend or how much to save, that’s when arguments turn into ugly toxic fights that leave both persons feeling hurt and angry. It’s why money has become the #1 cause of divorce in the U.S. Obviously, something needs to change. The reason this crisis has not been addressed is because it has never been identified, defined, or given a name. Scott and Bethany Palmer, aka “The Money Couple,” have identified and defined this problem and offer concrete solutions to fix it.
Once you know your Money Personality, you can get to the root of money arguments and start really working together. You’ll discover what has an impact on your loved one’s money decisions, and you’ll learn how to talk about money in a way that’s actually fun! You’ll figure out how to put an end to money secrets and lies once and for all.
It’s not just about money management, and it’s definitely not just about overcoming debt. It is a whole new way of living that will change everything in your relationship. Tens of thousands have already been transformed. Are you ready?
My Thoughts: If there's one thorn in my and Hubby's wedded bliss, it's MONEY. It's the one topic we totally disagree on. He's definitely the more practical one of us bent on using "extra" cash to pay down the car loans and paying off the mortgage. Whereas, I was the one that's all for spending any "extra" cash towards the annual family vacation and weekend getaways and the latest, greatest, must have. Throughout our nearly 17 years of marriage we have come to realize a balance that works for us to help us meet our financial goals. However, it's something we work on constantly.
The Money Couple's The 5 Money Personalities provides some great tips for helping couples learn to talk openly about money. Confessing your "financial infidelity" can help you and your partner address those monetary issues that burden you. I love the term "financial infidelity" which Palmer and Palmer use to describe as any behavior which causes you to avoid being forthright about money. Like the new pair of shoes you bought that were a little bit more than what you told your spouse. Oh, that's my story, sorry. ☺
