February 9, 2011

A few years ago I was cruising the purse department at Nordstrom and overheard a sweet-looking lady in her 70s call her husband over to pay for her goodies, while she told the salesgal, "he doesn't get any honey unless he shows me the money." I immediately burst into laughter.

Still, as silly as it sounds, maintaining a healthy attitude about finances in a long-term relationship requires a balance of humor, clear communication, and shared expectations. The right outlook on money matters at the start of a relationship and is vital for laying a firm foundation, but keeping the topic at the forefront and adjusting goals as the years pass is critical for staying solid as a rock. Here are some healthy habits that will help keep the love alive for richer and poorer.

I know not that many people would agree with me but somehow living with enough finances (money) really just brings a peace about many things. You can wake up in the morning realizing if I lost my job I will be fine. **hint** I would like a genuine good hearted man and someone who is serious about finances.** It really makes a relationship more stable and takes away from the anxiety lack of money brings. It's almost like a sense of relief and security knowing everything on that factor is okay and well.
