It's sometimes as simple as something we say to our kids. But why is talking finances one of those difficult topics we avoid as married couples? Is it the realization of reality, the thought of the other finding out what we really spend or the discovery of an overdue bill. Either way it's a bumpy topic, that for me is usually best avoided! (or at least tackled with a glass of wine)
Tonight Dave and I decided it was time for a budget meeting, check the accounts and see where we are at. Usually this is met with a quick (and subtle) check to see if we are both in good moods. It's not the type of thing I am good at when, well you know, pms'ie or if I've had a rough day with the kids. Likewise for Dave, if he is tired, then let's not even go there! The mood check is always the first step into these murky waters.
Well long story short, it was a breakthrough, 10yrs married and this was without a doubt the best coming together of the financial minds yet. Very exciting, lots discussed, problems solved and lots of discussion how to make a difference together with our finances and make them work for our family! I love when we work so well as a team, thanks honey!
