9 | Managing Finances as a Couple and the Importance of Living on a Budget

Couples Becoming Intentional | Christian Marriage, Communication, Young Marriage, Relationships

This may be a taboo topic for most couples to talk about (especially before getting married.) We want to equip you with tools and strategies to get on the same page when it comes to finances. We are VERY intentional about having hard conversations about how much we make, how we spend our money and how credit cards play into it.

I truly encourage you to start with getting on a budget. Take a look at where your money is going and how you can be a good steward of what you’re doing with your hard earned money.

Having a budget gives you freedom to spend money.

How you deal with a little, is how you’ll deal with a lot.

Highlights:

• Single you will be married you
• Benefits of Financial Peace University and how we use the principles now
• How we set up our finances as a married couple with kids
• The importance of a budget when you’re a free-spirit spender
• Importance of having fun money
• Living off of one income
• Side hustles
• Setting ourselves us for future success
