Hello, whinnebbers, my name is Jesse Meekham and this is podcast number 160 where you need a budget.

Where we teach you four rules to help you stop living paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt, and

save more money.

And sometimes you do all of those things with another human being.

Today and for the next little while we're going to talk about budgeting with a partner,

with a spouse, with a

significant other, with your true love with the one and only.

This one's for the lovers.

Now, there's really only one thing to talk about,

and this podcast will be fairly short.

When it comes down to it you avoid for the first little bit talking about money and you just

talk about priorities, passions, habits, things that get you excited, what you want to do, where

you want to be in five years, ten years, twenty years, you drop things like, I can't

wait to pay off my mortgage in seven years.

What? What? What mortgage?

Seven years? Is that possible?

You bring up things about how you were raised, talk about where you're coming from with money,

and you just try and have open frank conversations.

I'm no marriage counselor, I've only been married once, only plan on being married once, so I only have one

experience and it's been awesome.

So I don't have a ton of tactical advice that a relationship counselor might have when it comes

to communication or things like that.
