Ready to Improve Your Financial Life?

 

Most of us would answer a resounding “Yes!” to this question.  Who wouldn’t want to improve their finances?  The real question is, “What is holding you back?”  Many of us have an on-going dialogue inside our minds, the eternal one-track CD that continually plays the same message.

“I just don’t have time to understand and straighten out my finances.” 

“I’ll never get ahead.” 

“My spouse and I will never agree on our spending habits.”

Do you feel like  you don’t have a handle on your finances? Do you know how much you spend each month?  Or are you just paying the bills and getting by?  Meanwhile, the feeling that you have to change something, keeps growing stronger. Even so, you don’t know what steps to take to create what you desire. 

That’s exactly how I used to feel.

 

Commitment Creates Financial Success

I’ll let you in on the secret to creating a successful financial life.  Commitment.  It’s really that simple.  You don’t have to have it all "figured out."  In fact, you don’t even need a clear understanding of how you’re going to improve your financial situation right now.  All you need is the willingness to commit to working on your finances with your spouse and having Financial Dates TM.  

 Financial Dating TM  is a break-through process that has helped many couples improve their finances. Your financial situation and relationship with your partner will begin to improve as you invest commitment and time towards achieving bite-size financial goals.

How it All Started

I developed and trademarked this unique process out of a personal desire to achieve financial goals with my husband.  I haven’t seen anything like this anywhere else.  I came up with the idea almost two years ago after my husband and I were married.   I was anxious about how we would get our finances in order.  As a way to gain control and understanding of our finances we started having weekly Financial Dates TM. During these meetings we worked together as a team towards taking financial action.

Big Changes and Big Results

Our lives began to change dramatically after we started doing this. Our commitment to these Financial Dates has paid off. We paid off 43% of our debt during our first year of Financial Dates!  We now pay for all our purchases in cash, make monthly contributions to our retirement accounts, and have a savings account for unexpected emergencies. Both of us feel more confident and empowered.  We have also grown closer as a result of having our Financial Dates three times a month.   And it's been fun! 

The great thing about Financial Dating is that no matter where you are right now, there is always another financial peak to climb.  You continually set new goals and make progress as a couple.
