Newly Weds Money Management Tips


                  Managing your money can be a real
                  challenging when you get married
                  because incorporating your spouse’s
                  finances can be overwhelming. You and
                  your spouse will have to learn how to
                  manage your money together to achieve
                  your financial goals. This is a process that
                  should not be rush and or neglected but
                  you should take plenty of time to work at
                  it and review your progress over time. I
                  strongly recommend following these nine
                  steps so you and your spouse can easily
                  get accustomed to healthy financial
                  habits.

                     1.Talk About Finances
                        You can start by talking
                       about what accounts and
                      how much debt they have.
                      It is best to do this before
                      you get married, but if you
                      have not, discuss finances
                       with your new spouse as
                        soon as possible. You’ll
                        also want to be clear on
                      how you expect money to
                              be handled.

                      2. Make A List of Goals
                    Once you both know your
                  financial status, discuss your
                  long-term financial goals in-
                  depth. For example, Do you
                   want to get out of debt and
                    become a millionaire? Do
                      you plan to retire at a
                   certain age? Do you plan to
                        start a business?

                         3. Discuss Bank Accounts
                      There are both pros and cons to
                    opening a joint bank account or to
                   maintaining your individual accounts
                  after you’re married. You can even do
                       both. Combining accounts can
                   simplify your finances and may help
                   breed trust in a marriage. Moreover,
                    it may be especially valuable when
                   one spouse chooses to take on more
                     household or child-rearing duties
                  than the other and as a result there is
                            inequality in income.

                      4. Build An Emergency Funds
                   An emergency fund is money that is
                    set aside in case of an unexpected
                   expense, such as a lost job, illness or
                  natural disasters. If you don’t have an
                    emergency fund already consider
                   making it a priority. You could set a
                   goal to save 6 months worth of your
                     household expenses. Building an
                  emergency fund brings some financial
                  protection and security when disaster
                                   strikes.

                        5. Design a Budget
                    Creating a budget will help
                  you live with your means each
                  month. A Budget will help you
                  identify and categories where
                   you spend your money each
                    moth and set limits on how
                  much you will spend in certain
                             months.

                   6. Review Your Budget
                   It is not enough to just
                     make a budget. You
                   need to make sure you
                        stay within your
                  spending allotments and
                    adjust accordingly as
                  your situation, or income
                           changes.
Newly Weds Money Management Tips


                       7. Weekly Budget Review
                      You could schedule a weekly
                  money meeting to help you keep
                  track of your progress. During the
                    meeting you could discuss how
                  your budget looks for the month,
                   if you have any upcoming bills to
                     pay, opportunities for income,
                      how you are doing with your
                   financial goals and anything else
                  money related. This is also a great
                       opportunity to strengthen
                  communication in your marriage.

                   8. Develop a Retirement Savings Plan
                    This forms part of your long-term
                  financial goals. If you are married or
                  not you should save for retirement.
                      A retirement fund can provide
                     financial security and protection
                    when you are retired and need to
                      maintain your standard of living
                  whether you are married or not. As
                        a couple you could consult a
                   financial consultant to assist you in
                     formulating a retirement savings
                                   plan.

                  Work out a plan together to
                  get out of debt. Incorporate
                     a payment plan in your
                       budget to reduce &
                  eliminate all debts. Make a

Newlyweds money management tips

  • 1. Newly Weds Money Management Tips Managing your money can be a real challenging when you get married because incorporating your spouse’s finances can be overwhelming. You and your spouse will have to learn how to manage your money together to achieve your financial goals. This is a process that should not be rush and or neglected but you should take plenty of time to work at it and review your progress over time. I strongly recommend following these nine steps so you and your spouse can easily get accustomed to healthy financial habits.
  • 2. Newly Weds Money Management Tips 1.Talk About Finances You can start by talking about what accounts and how much debt they have. It is best to do this before you get married, but if you have not, discuss finances with your new spouse as soon as possible. You’ll also want to be clear on how you expect money to be handled.
  • 3. Newly Weds Money Management Tips 2. Make A List of Goals Once you both know your financial status, discuss your long-term financial goals in- depth. For example, Do you want to get out of debt and become a millionaire? Do you plan to retire at a certain age? Do you plan to start a business?
  • 4. Newly Weds Money Management Tips 3. Discuss Bank Accounts There are both pros and cons to opening a joint bank account or to maintaining your individual accounts after you’re married. You can even do both. Combining accounts can simplify your finances and may help breed trust in a marriage. Moreover, it may be especially valuable when one spouse chooses to take on more household or child-rearing duties than the other and as a result there is inequality in income.
  • 5. Newly Weds Money Management Tips 4. Build An Emergency Funds An emergency fund is money that is set aside in case of an unexpected expense, such as a lost job, illness or natural disasters. If you don’t have an emergency fund already consider making it a priority. You could set a goal to save 6 months worth of your household expenses. Building an emergency fund brings some financial protection and security when disaster strikes.
  • 6. Newly Weds Money Management Tips 5. Design a Budget Creating a budget will help you live with your means each month. A Budget will help you identify and categories where you spend your money each moth and set limits on how much you will spend in certain months.
  • 7. Newly Weds Money Management Tips 6. Review Your Budget It is not enough to just make a budget. You need to make sure you stay within your spending allotments and adjust accordingly as your situation, or income changes.
  • 8. Newly Weds Money Management Tips 7. Weekly Budget Review You could schedule a weekly money meeting to help you keep track of your progress. During the meeting you could discuss how your budget looks for the month, if you have any upcoming bills to pay, opportunities for income, how you are doing with your financial goals and anything else money related. This is also a great opportunity to strengthen communication in your marriage.
  • 9. Newly Weds Money Management Tips 8. Develop a Retirement Savings Plan This forms part of your long-term financial goals. If you are married or not you should save for retirement. A retirement fund can provide financial security and protection when you are retired and need to maintain your standard of living whether you are married or not. As a couple you could consult a financial consultant to assist you in formulating a retirement savings plan.
