Money is a hot topic in marriage, is it not? Why is this such a difficult issue to resolve? He likes to spend too much. She doesn’t want to spend a dime. He just wants the latest toys. She always wants to go on vacation. These polar opposite views of money can make for major conflicts in marriage. That’s why they say the number 1 issue in marriage revolves around money. If you’re a Dave Ramsey fan like us, you’ve heard all about staying out of debt, getting on a budget, saving, giving, blah, blah, blah. All good stuff and true but the HOW to do all that can be difficult when you haven’t been raised to handle money well. Which is true for the majority of people. So while Dave teaches a lot about the HOW, his daughter, Rachel Cruze, tackles the WHY. Understanding the WHY you treat money the way you do will make the HOW so much easier. Spoiler alert: We learn from our parents.
