Relationships & Money

Written on March 12th, 2010 by James

The purpose of this blog from the outset was to add a bit of humor to the world of personal finance.  I figured what better way to do that than offer up a real world view of what it is like to be married to a financial planner.  I have no problem poking fun at myself and the posts are sort of a tongue and cheek way of showing that no one is perfect.  The ultimate objective is to hopefully share that all couples approach money differently but that compromises can be made.

Statistically, money issues rank among the highest reasons for friction in a marriage.  As a financial planner I see it every day and in this recession it is getting worse. 

The take away from this blog should always be that spouses will not agree on every financial issue, but we hope that by having a laugh at our expense will enable you to figure out a way to compromise on money issues in your relationship.

now back to the rants!….she wants to take the kids to Disney over spring break, the one time of year I hate to travel.  The crowds, the inflated hotel rates, etc.   Did I mention the crowds?  I really hate crowds……..
