When it comes to handling money as a couple, there are as many approaches as there are types of relationships.

Neither is necessarily happier or better …
I had planned to settle onto my couch this evening and write a post about my travel plans to Paris. I wanted to talk about how much the flight had cost, when I was planning on going and where I was planning on staying. It was going to be a post about an adventure. Now, that unwritten blog post seems …
Managing money is an evolving task. It requires you to constantly make adjustments, to learn, and to grow. Managing your money with a spouse is like adding a third dimension of difficulty to the financial equation. It’s takes ninja skills. Not only do you need to handle yourself, adjust your expectations, and avoid the temptation to go over budget, but …
Money and relationships is a huge, broad topic with many different aspects. One of those aspects is how to appropriately combine money, or whether or not you should combine money and accounts.

It was a gorgeous day and everything went pretty much perfectly. The sun shone, the bugs and rain stayed away, and my hair held up in the humidity until after dark. …
For the purposes of this discussion, let’s say that my fiancé’s name is Homer Simpson. After my fiancé and I got engaged, we started to plan the wedding. We planned where it would be, who would marry us, what we would eat. We planned our honeymoon, picked our wedding rings, and chose our wedding party. It all came very naturally …
I was planning on writing this post on the weekend, but life, including the Relay for Life, got away from me.

My fiancé and I wrote our vows over the weekend.
