The Logical Aspects of Money - YMM #25

Hey, Gang!  Welcome to Part 2 of our MONEY episode.  In last week’s show, we discussed the “How To’s” of money management in marriage; think of it as the logical aspect of money.  This week, we are discussing the beliefs and values you have about money; this is the harder conversation to have because it’s more about the emotional connection we have to money.

Use the following questions with your spouse to direct your conversation about money:

• How would you finish the statement, “Money is . . .”?
• What does having enough money mean to you?
• What would you do with an abundance of money?
• What does money represent to you (emotionally)?  Is it status, success, security, power, etc.?
• How did you view money as you grew up?

 

Listener Question of the Week:  I work hard for my money, and I do not want my fiance to tell me how to spend it.  How do I handle this problem?

 

Fun Question of the Week:  What gifts do you like to receive from me?
