On today’s episode, we’re live from Boston for my recent Money For Couples book tour. First, I talk with Robert (28) and Giselle (28) who appear to have it all together, but behind the scenes, they’re struggling to make intentional financial decisions. Instead of planning ahead, they make impulsive decisions like committing $7,500 of earnest money to a new home that they can’t afford. Now, they’re questioning if they can still plan the wedding they want. Then we’ll meet Sara (28) and Jay (28) who are newly married and learning how to navigate finances together. Sara is a disciplined saver who avoids debt, while Jay is a big-picture dreamer—planning elaborate vacations without considering the cost. Sara has graciously agreed to help Jay pay off his debt, but was blindsided when Jay revealed the full amount post-honeymoon. Now, as they plan for homeownership and parenthood, trust and transparency are more important than ever.
