Sober Women Managing Money & Mental Wealth
Alright, I was requested by a couple of readers to share some wedding pics and a recap. Firstly, I’m humbled that any of my readers want to hear more of the details about my wedding. Secondly, I was holding off for fear that things have been all about me and my engagement/wedding/marriage lately. However, I’m throwing caution to the wind and will share the deets!
After all, everyone loves love, right?

So you may be asking why a single woman is writing a post about speaking the same financial language with your partner. I do have thoughts on this topic; however, I really want to learn more about it so I listen to the wisdom and experience of others. I’m pleased to offer you Good Nelly’s thoughts here. Good Nelly wrote a quality guest post for me in the past titled, The Debt Gender Gap and How to Reduce it Being a Woman. You are in for another treat with this post. Take it away, Nelly…
I am sure that you have heard that couples need to speak the same financial language. Men and women need to be on a similar page for a better financial future.
But have you wondered why? Let’s find it out.
I am happy to announce my first Christmas giveaway and it’s a good one! If you are interested in taking charge of your money this year, read on…
As a Christmas gift, I’m giving away a 1-year subscription to EveryDollar Plus!! EveryDollar is a budgeting tool created by the Dave Ramsey team. This is a one-year subscription is valued at $129. That’s a nice little Christmas gift, yes?
You’ll need to read through the entire post to learn the rules of the giveaway but I’ll make it worth it. 😉
EveryDollar is a great tool for budgeting! I’ve used it off and on in the past but more consistently have used Microsoft Excel. However, this year, I’m committed to using EveryDollar wholeheartedly. What better way to start out the new year than with a new budget?! And we can do it together and share tips.
Preventative care is a big thing in healthcare right now. As a matter of fact, all Affordable Care Act-compliant plans include preventative care at a zero dollar cost to members.
Who wouldn’t rather prevent a condition versus treating it? Some things are preventable with good habits and early detection.
Unfortunately, there is also rotten luck and genetics; although, that doesn’t negate the importance of preventative care. 😉
I propose that as we do preventative care for our physical and mental health, we can also do it for our financial health.
If there is a financial problem like debt or not enough money at the end of the month, we need to treat the problem. I’ve written several prescriptive articles pertaining to such things:
However, once you’ve treated the problem and cleaned up your debt, you now get to focus on the prevention of these things occurring again. And I would argue that prevention is a bit more fun! 😉
