20 YearsHelping You Live Richer

Ah, love.
Youve been struck by Cupids arrow and now, you cant imagine life without your partner.
Everything is sunshine and roses.
Why bring the mundane matters of dollars and cents into your bliss?
Connecting your life with someone elses in a happily ever after means understanding how your paramour approaches money.
Those ladies were right.
Regardless of gender, no one wants to be with a financial deadbeat.
You know that a credit card isnt free money, and you pay your statement in full every month.
Even then, youre strategic about what you charge.
Sharing a credit card with them could set you up to get boinked on the head with massive debt.
It makes them believe theyve got no business having a say in your household finances.
They Dont Have the Same Financial Goals
Financial goals are often life goals with dollar signs attached.
Different life priorities can mean different financial priorities, which can cause friction in a relationship.
Thats why its essential to ensure youre aligned on big-picture money goals.
This definition doesnt always assume malice.
Sometimes its just easier to charge something, and even easier to forget about it until the statement comes.
Perhaps you panic about an impulse purchase and hide the bill.
But is that really how you want to live?
And would you feel comfortable if your partner did the same to you?
Lying is a slippery slope.
Our standards dive lower and lower.
Not everyone who lies is a bad person.
Some just got in too deep.
