How does an engaged or newly married couple work as a team when dealing with money?

‘Time poor’ is the catch-cry of our era, and yet end-of-life retirement means we have an average of two decades of feeling time rich to look forward to . . . when we’re old. How arse-about is that? But there is an alternative to working your butt off for decades and retiring when you’re worn out: it’s called financial independence, and it means being able to cover life’s essentials and afford the luxuries you want without having to turn up to a job each day. Imagine: the freedom and flexibility to work if, when and where you like, go travelling, spend time with family or start that business you’ve been dreaming of. And with enough time and a way to earn, it’s achievable for most people through the power of passive income. Lacey Filipich knows because she’s done it herself – and has been teaching the strategies and steps for financial independence for a decade through her education company, Money School. Now, she’ll teach you all her tried-and-true lessons for redesigning your personal finances to create the life you really want. From maximising your income and cutting costs without big sacrifice, to property, shares and retirement funds, Money School explains exactly how to build a passive income that will completely change your life. Take control of how you spend your time and money to make them work for you – and get on the fast track to being financially independent and time rich.

Mind Right, Money Right for Couples, is a book that will help any two people in a committed relationship figure out how to better manage money as one unit. It is a fact that the number one reason why married couples fight or get a divorce is because of money. Some may think it's infidelity, but the way money is managed, money is handled, the lack of money, the abundance of money, or just money, in general, becomes something that can tear a union apart. This is also the case for long-term committed relationships that may not include marriage. Using a step by step method, Ash Cash & Amina Phelps give you the real and raw of their 15+ year union, how money almost split them up indefinitely and the process they used to bring it back together. No matter what each of your money stories is, if you follow the R.E.A.L L.O.V.E. method, money will NEVER come between you and your partner again.

Over 90 percent of couples experience some level of tension around money. In fact, money issues are the number one stressor in relationships. So many books try to fix the surface problems, such as how to budget and what to prioritize when it comes to finances, but the issues go much deeper than just a simple spreadsheet. How do men and women view money differently? What do most couples fight about? How can they get on the same page? What questions should men/women ask their significant others before marriage? There are emotional and spiritual components to finances that most couples ignore. How can you agree on a budget if you disagree with each other on the basic purpose of money? Thriving in Love and Money is based on original research Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn have conducted to get to the heart of these issues. And just as they did with their bestselling books For Women Only and For Men Only, they will use this research to provide the answers and insights you need to break the tension and provide the unity you're looking for. Let this book deepen your understanding of each other, leading to clear communication, peace as a couple, and better financial decision-making. Also available: video curriculum and workbook.

Money and relationships can be messy. Couples aren't taught how to talk about money, but more than that, they aren't taught that money isn't just about numbers. Our beliefs, values, experiences, and emotions all play a huge role in how we view and handle money. Getting in sync with their partner is the first step toward having good conversations about money. However, that's made even more difficult by the fact that men and women often handle money differently. Best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn has spent years researching the differences between men and women and now partners with brightpeak, a division of Thrivent Financial--a not-for-profit, Christian member-owned Fortune-500 company with a unique approach to relationships and money--to help couples strengthen their relationships and communicate more effectively about their finances. Backed by in-depth research and full of expert advice, this dynamic six-week program gives couples the tools to: · Fight & Stress Less: Diffuse tension when talking about finances · Gain Appreciation: Truly understand differences--and their partner's thinking--around money · Get Aligned: Foster goodwill, intimacy, and financial unity in their relationship · Take Action, Together: Make more informed financial decisions together · Thrive in Love & Money: Get their finances--and relationship--on track for a brighter future The program includes six video sessions, approximately 20-30 minutes each, that introduce a key relationship component, how it applies to money, and what a couple can do about it. To go along with the videos, the kit also includes "His" and "Hers" guidebooks for couples, filled with activities, reflections, and even optional devotionals to help them get the most from the experience.
