Master Your Bank Accounts Together

How are things going with your money? Do you feel like the two of you have a strong handle on things?

When we were first married, it took some time for us to find our footing. Besides figuring how to manage money as a team, we had to move our money because the bank we were with gave us more hassle than help.

Fast forward now and we're much happier because we found a system and banking options that work for us.

Today we're looking at how you can master your bank accounts together and get the most bang for your buck!

Joe Mecca from Coastal Credit Union is here today to help out.

In this episode, we get into
  • how to find the best way to manage your money as a couple
  • stashing your cash in the best place possible
  • managing your money like a boss

Hope you enjoy!

Does it seem like you two keep having the same argument over and over? Do you feel like you're spinning your wheels with money? You're not alone.

Today we're going over how we form our money habits and how we can change them for the better to finally achieve your big goals together! 


Mindsets and Money Stories 

It's funny how unaware we can be about our money habits. When we first began talking about money, it was a real eye-opener and not just because of the numbers.

Here we were ready to spend our lives together and we realized that we had completely different views when it came to money. 

But digging into how we pick up those habits and figuring a way to work with what we have so to speak is somewhat tricky - which is why I'm really happy Jen Hemphill here.
She's an accredited financial coach and author of her new book, Her Money Matters: The Missing Truths From Traditional Money Advice.

It's a fantastic book and one aspect I really appreciated is how Jen dives into mindsets and money stories.

In this episode we discuss:

  • how your past can influence how you handle finances now - for better or worse
  • how to help your spouse to open up and understand their money mindset
  • a tip for getting them onboard

Hope you enjoy!
