Getting Out of Debt and Getting on the Same Financial Page

I remember many, many years ago my husband and I struggled with getting rid of debt, getting our finances organized and creating a clear financial plan.

We decided to have weekly dates to get our finances in order. We came to refer to these meetings as our Financial Dates®. We didn’t really have a clue as to what we were doing. All we knew was that we needed to give our finances undivided attention.

An amazing thing happened during these Dates; instead of finances becoming a source of divisive tension that pulled us apart, they became the glue that held us together as we became a unified team – as we focused on the single goal of getting out of debt. We would sit down, create a list of agenda items that we wanted to cover and proceed through the list until we were done.

I still recall the day that we excitedly marked through our last credit card payment on the chart we had created. We had finally arrived. We were free. We had been given wings to fly.

There is power in giving your finances undivided attention.

Take the steps to learn how to have a financial Date® with your spouse to become your extraordinary dream in your financial life.
