If you don't have the same goals as partners, even if that goal is as simple as we just want to build our emergency fund together or we just want to save up to be able to buy a home together or to buy a rental together, by having that goal, you're aligning and working towards it.
And suddenly it gets a lot easier to have discussions of like, hey, I've noticed that you are buying lunch all the time at work.
I get that you want to do that, but it's not really helping us reach that goal of buying our first home.
We both really need to put our heads down and do this together.
And that's a lot easier of a conversation to have than, hey, you're spending a lot eating out at work and I just don't like that.
And I'm trying to save and we're trying to save and without a goal, it just feels like, well...
I'd rather just eat out.
Like I'd rather just have like a nice meal.
So what's the issue there?
Like you just end up gridlocking.
Now, the other part of having a goal, which makes life so much easier is when you and your partner then can make a budget off the back of these goals.
I highly recommend using like a budget planner, which accounts for every single dollar where you can plug in your money, they can plug in their money, and then you figure out, okay, we both make like $80,000 a year or $100,000 a year.
We have...
a $200,000 family income.
That's crazy.
Where does all that money go?
How much do we have left over?
What is our savings rate?
And so Income and Budget Planner is actually a really great free way to do that.
We've had 50,000 people reply to one Instagram story to download it and we've kept it free.
