It's not fun to talk about. It's stressful. But after working with couples 1:1 for a few years and being married nine years myself (as of yesterday), I made something free that will break the ice for any couple. It's called the 5 SIMPLE STEPS FOR COUPLES TO GET ON THE SAME PAGE and you can download it for...

What's up Reader, Let’s face it—personal finance in America is a mess.
