Be Debt-Free Before You Get Married

Marriage is bliss. Marriage is wonderful. Marriage is beautiful. 

Marriage is also work and effort. Marriage has challenges of its own, without bringing in the challenge of financial stress.

It's important to be open and honest about finances before you get married. Really, before you get engaged. Learn each others spending personalities and philosophies. Find out if there are any outstanding debts or defaulted loans, etc. You are not just marrying that person, you are also marrying whatever they bring to the alter, including their debt. 

"Our love is so strong that money will never divide us!" Studies have shown that a minimum of 30% of marital arguments start with money issues.  

A coach can help you assess where you are at before you get married and recommend a plan to help you get debt-free so you can enjoy your marriage beginnings without adding the stress of money to it. 

A coach can also help you and your fiancé to develop a plan to STAY debt-free. Think about how that would impact your future together, your children, and ultimately your retirement!


You can master your money... and I can help!
