The Sixty-Minute Money Workout

How would you like to be financially transformed in only one hour per week?
When my husband, Bob, and I were first married we didn’t like to say that we “argued” about money.
Since he was a born spender and I was a born saver it was natural that learning to manage money as a couple would require a certain amount of give and take—but the word “argue” was just a wee bit too negative for newlyweds like ourselves.
So we called it “intense fellowship” instead! We learned that there was a right way to approach this delicate topic and a very, very wrong way.
We decided to try an experiment. We set aside an hour a week and developed a very strategic plan as to how we spent that hour. We found that we stopped arguing and eventually our finances began to change for the better. Just as a physical workout takes dedication and hard work, our money workout was vigorous, but it was worth it.
We got out of debt, began to pay cash for household goods and even planned a debt free family vacation.
