Summary

Husband and husband team David Auten and John Schneider are known as the “Debt Free Guys” for a reason. They offer some inspiring advice on how to live a fulfilling life without sacrificing financial security. They break down how to discuss financial anxiety with your partner, how to take a good look at what you may be doing wrong with your money, and how to weigh the financial priorities (and sacrifices) in your life. They also tackle the questions as to why the LGBTQ community assumes more debt than the heterosexual population, and why same-sex couples are 73% more likely to be denied a mortgage. In Mailbag, how credit cards closed due to inactivity may impact your credit score, whether you should contribute to your spouse’s 401(k), and tips on saving for grad school.
