Now, it's one thing to do this yourself, to come up with your money rules.

I've got 10 money rules.

You can Google Ramit's money rules.

And they're about spending and saving.

And one of them is marry the right person, which I think is actually one of the most important money rules that you can possibly have.

It's one thing to come up with your own money

rules. It's another when you bring somebody else into this conversation. How many people here

are in a relationship or have been in a relationship where money was a topic of discussion?

Quite a few. I've had magical experiences and I've had challenging experiences.

And I like to tell you a little bit about both.

My wife is here in the room.

I remember when we were engaged and we went out to dinner with two couples who are a little older than us. And they asked

us where we were planning to go for a honeymoon. And we were excited. We were planning to go on a

safari, eight or ten days. And we told them, we've never been and we can't wait. They were

excited. Oh my God, that's going to be amazing. And then one of them mentioned, yeah, when we went on our honeymoon, we took six months off and we traveled the world.

What? And then the next couple who are, again, they're a little older than us, but we thought,

you know, they're just, they're not that much older. They said, oh yeah, when we took our honeymoon,

we went for a year.

It was life-changing.

And we walked out of that restaurant, we looked at each other like, did you hear that?

Who are these people?

It would have been easy for us to say, that's ridiculous.
