Money Matters
For many couples, financial stress tops the list of relationship problem-causers. It’s only when a pair decides to work together that the problems can be worked through appropriately. Here is some advise to help you cope while others continuing suffering through their joint banking woes:
Balance: If you remember the TV series The Odd Couple, somewhere between messy Oscar and neat-obsessed Felix is the happy medium, and so too with spending. Plan to live well by accomplishing your most important goals while preserving your future resources.
Relax: Focus on the long-term and don’t let short-term markets make you crazy. With couples in their 60s having a 25 percent chance of one spouse living past 95, focusing on 30-plus years of retirement is not only realistic, it’s essential. Your financial life is a marathon, not a sprint.
What’s Important Now: Make a list of all those things you both wanted to do during your short stay on Earth. Whether it be pursuing a pastime by yourself or taking the trip of a lifetime together, jot them all down. If you’re on target, congratulate yourself. If not, go ahead and catch up. You deserve it.
