How often do you talk with your spouse or partner about money? Are you even on the same page when it comes to finances? The truth is, if you're married or in a serious relationship there are some important financial topics you should discuss.

If you're in a relationship, there's a good many things you need to work together on, and finances aren't any different. For some people finances are that sort of thing that most don't want to discuss at all. I mean, it can turn a civilized conversation into a knockout drag out fight. But, the reality is that some of these topics should be talked about, and for many people, sooner rather than later. Here are six financial topics couples should discuss: The first topic couples should discuss is budgeting. For most couples, particularly married couples, this is a must. The purpose of this is to work together to determine how much you make and where it's all going every month. If you're new to this, get started by watching some videos, attending a webinar, or reading some books. Then, armed with the knowledge of how to properly set up a budget system, take some time, sit down and do your budget. Make it a date. Try ordering takeout or cook a special meal to make it feel more of a fun event rather than a chore. If you need some help, check out resources like You Need A Budget (YNAB), Ramsey Solutions, and Triangle Credit Union webinars, available to watch on YouTube. The next topic couples need to discuss is savings and retirement. Like the last one, this one also applies more to married couples, but for single people however, it might not be a bad idea to get an idea of where your partner stands when it comes to spending. It'll give you a peek into how compatible you two really are. When discussing spending, ask each other what you're saving for, both as a couple and as individuals. Determine whether you have an emergency savings account and how much you'll need to fully fund it. Having a proper savings plan ensures that your financial future will be secure. Are you both planning to retire and when? Make sure you're discussing retirement goals and how working to reach those goals affects your savings rate now. If you're going to build your financial future together, you need to give it the best foundation possible by having a healthy emergency fund, good savings habits and a well-planned retirement strategy. The third thing to discuss is goals. If you have wishes and goals, your partner likely does too. You need to talk about what those goals are and how they affect your finances in both the near future and distant future. Start with short term goals. As a couple, do you want to save for a downpayment? How about paying off a credit card? Or perhaps paying down a set portion of your student loans? When it comes to long term goals, look a little farther out. Depending on where you are in life, do you want to finally own a home? Get completely debt free? Maybe buy a second home? Plan a once in a lifetime vacation? The best way to achieve goals is by determining where you want to be or what you want to achieve as a couple, laying out the steps you'll need to get there and work hard and keep focus to meet that goal at its appointed time. Set up a timeline, determine milestones and remember to celebrate once your goal is reached. The fourth topic to discuss is whether you'll have separate or joint bank accounts. If you're not married, then keeping accounts separate is the better plan. If you're married, the typical choice is to combine finances. Though there are many cases where husbands and wives continue to manage their own money, in many ways combining finances and accounts forces you to make the financial decisions together as one household rather than two separate individuals with their own goals. If you are married and choose to keep your accounts separate, that can work too. Just make sure that you're both fiscally mature and communicate about everything. Keeping an open conversation about spending, saving and the like will keep the stress down and ensure you're both still on the same page. The fifth topic is to discuss what you'll teach your children when it comes to money. If you have kids, or plan to have them one day, talk about what you're going to teach them when it comes to money. Will they have chores? Get an allowance? How much? Will you teach them how to budget? How old do you think they should be when they get their first job? You and your spouse should discuss all these questions so you're both on the same page when it comes to raising your kids in a financially responsible way. The sixth topic to talk about is Insurance. For couples, this is definitely not the most exciting topic at all, but it's important to have this discussion. Because there are so many different types of insurance coverage for a variety of things from houses and cars to pets and identity, you need to talk about which ones would benefit you most as a couple and household. Insurance costs money, so just because your spouse thinks you need that special coverage doesn't mean it's best for you both to dish out the extra money each month. Have a discussion to decide on the most beneficial types of insurance for your lifestyle and select the plans that you can reasonably afford. If you're not sure where to start when it comes to insurance, meet with a financial planner who can steer you into the right insurance plans with the proper coverage and premiums for your current financial situation. They'll also help reassess any existing plans and provide alternate options to keep up with the many changes that can occur in life. That's it for this tip with six financial topics couples should discuss. If there are any other tips or topics, you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

*The first step to building wealth is figuring out your relationship with money.* That's why we're speaking to Claer Barrett, the Consumer Editor of the Financial Times and author of the book What They Don't Teach You About Money. Claer isn't good at maths and had periods when she wasn't good with money but she's managed to turn that around. At the heart of that change has been her growing understanding of her money personality.

Budgeting is hard enough for most people, but when you only get paid nine months out of the year, how do you manage your month-to-month expenses? The trick is to budget for the summer during the rest of the year. You do this by building up a balance that you can use to see you through three months without a paycheck. This sounds simple enough, but in practice, we have found it proves difficult for some educators to implement. Budgeting For the Entire Year with Seasonal Income Here's an approach that we think gets the job done: On paper or in a spreadsheet, list all your monthly expenses in the first column. In the second column list the actual monthly cost, or your best estimate for things like groceries and gasoline, etc. For expenses that you pay at odd intervals, like an insurance bill that you pay twice each year, convert the amount into a monthly expense by dividing it by the number of months in each interval. In the third column, multiply each of the monthly expenses by 12 to get the total for each expense for the year. In the fourth column, divide the annual number in column three by nine. This gives you the amount you must dedicate to each expense during the nine months you get paid to cover the three months in the summer when you don't. In the fifth column, subtract the monthly expense (column 2) from the nine-month amount (column 3). This should give you the amount you need to set aside during the paycheck months. Total the fifth column. This is the total amount you need to save September through May to cover June, July, and August. This amount can now become a budget item, along with your normal expenses, during the rest of the year. Expense Monthly Annually Nine Months Difference Mortgage $1,000.00 $12,000.00 $1,333.00 $333.00 Phones $150.00 $1,800.00 $200.00 $50.00 Internet $100.00 $1,200.00 $133.00 $33.00 Monthly Savings Needed: $416.00 Using Budgeting Software This is a situation where budgeting software, such as You Need A Budget (YNAB), really shines. You can enter all your normal expenses with the actual monthly amounts for all twelve months of the year. Then add a budget category for "Summer Savings Need," and enter the total need from the fifth column as the budget amount during your nine months with pay. When summer rolls around, the funds will be there for you. If you don't use a budget program that allows you to designate how you spend the money in your accounts, I would recommend opening a designated savings account to hold the funds you are setting aside for summer. The above calculations work well if you are starting your savings plan in September and have the whole nine months to save for the following summer. If that's not the case (life is never that simple, right?), then use the number of months left before summer to calculate what is needed. For instance, if it is January and you are paid through the end of May, you need to divide the total in column four by five instead of nine to get what you need between now and summer. That may result in some unreasonable numbers. If that is the case, you need to re-prioritize your overall budget and make certain that basic expenses (your obligations like rent or your car payment) are covered. What if Your Income is Less Predictable? Teacher's income may have twelve months' salary lumped into nine months of pay, but what if your income is less predictable? Contractors and freelancers may have good months and bad months. Also, many salaried professionals get an annual bonus. In the bonus situation, we suggest budgeting for priority, fixed expenses out of a regular salary, and then using the bonus to catch up on savings goals or discretionary items like vacation funds. If you don't have a set salary and your income fluctuates from month to month, try to build a budget around a minimum average expected income. In months where income is higher,

Does talking about money totally freak you out? Us too. You can take a deep breath though. In our latest episode, Kat’s conversation with Julia Lorenz-Olson helps remove some of the pressure we feel with managing money and Julia gives some super practical financial tips for young professional women. Julia also shares about working with her husband and her experience with postpartum anxiety. Julia is a Swiss/Texan who was practically raised on the stage. Now, she adores using those talents to empower and inspire others to take charge of their own financial destiny through her company The Art of Finance. Spending several years in the mortgage industry gave her number-crunching confidence and a unique insight into investing. She’s also a self-professed foodie, budget-wizard, yogi, a vintage-clothing collector and has owned several of her own successful businesses. Her excitement for teaching people, especially other young women, about financial matters is matched only by her passion for figuring out who this Jesus-dude was, 60’s costume dramas and reading sci-fi.

Building on the personal finance episode that aired as #157, which focused on getting rid of debt, Matt and Scott talk to Jesse Mecham, the founder of You Need A Budget as well as an SSOC client. You Need A Budget (YNAB) is a philosophy of budgeting based on four simple rules of money management, with some handy software tools to take the tedium out of spreadsheet data entry. This ground-up approach to budgeting bears a strong resemblance to Starting Strength's method of barbell training, starting with first principles and building toward clearly defined, actionable goals. Jesse developed his rules as a young married man in a graduate program of accounting with a subsistence income between himself and his wife. They didn't have money, but they did begin the conversation about budgeting early in their relationship. On a fateful day a year after buying his first car, Jesse received a letter from the state department of motor vehicles informing him of the need to renew his registration... for a fee of $150. A large (and unforeseen) sum to him -- he had never owned a car before -- it highlighted the need to think about the known but irregular expenses of life and budget for them ahead of time, so he wouldn't be caught off guard. Eventually this idea worked it's way into his budgeting spreadsheet, which he offered for sale online, and You Need A Budget was born. A complete exploration of Jesse's money rules can be found on the YNAB site, but they can be summarized as follows (and they follow sequentially): Give every dollar a job -- what you have in account today, right now. Give those dollars a job: gas, food, electric bill. Embrace your true expenses -- not just what you spent today, or will spend this week, or this month... EVERYTHING, including car tires, registration, insurance premiums, etc. Roll with the punches -- your money works for you. You get to decide what jobs your dollars will have, which means you also get to decide when it's time for them to change jobs. Age your money -- spend the money you earned last month for this month's rent. Then work toward spending money from last quarter on this month's rent, and so forth. Now you have created savings, you have dollars for an emergency fund, and you can begin investing to create wealth. Just as Starting Strength doesn't tell you to do strong things on Day 1 (like, perform a max effort single), Jesse's rules don't tell you to make huge changes or look far out into the future at the beginning. Instead he focuses on where a person is now, in the present moment (i.e. their current account balance, not the paycheck they expect to receive at the end of next week), and helps them start allocating the resources they have. Once those resources are accounted for, the person can then start thinking about what to do with their future paycheck. A linear progression of sorts. Check out the You Need A Budget website for more information. Jesse has also written a book about his money philosophy called, simply, YNAB: The Book.

Background on Jonny Since discovering travel hacking over a year ago, we have become OBSESSED with learning everything we possibly can about earning and redeeming miles & points for upgraded VIP travel. Over the course of just 12 months, we collected over one million points without ever stepping foot on a plane or checking into a hotel. We recently returned home from Europe on a Lufthansa flight in business class. Our seats were located in the upper deck of a Boeing 747-8. Complete with champagne, gourmet meals and lie-flat seats. Our out-of-pocket cost for this flight was just $120 in taxes and fees per person. Pretty amazing, right? In addition, while in Paris for four nights, we stayed on the 33rd floor of a beautiful hotel that offered a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower from the window of our room. We also had complimentary breakfast, snacks all day long and hors d’ouerves, wine and beer each evening. Total out of pocket cost for all four nights? $25 for taxes and fees. That’s it. Seriously. Upgraded travel without spending a fortune really IS possible. People like you and me are doing this every, single day.

# Show Notes for Episode 003 #1. Stay organized financially#2. Philosophies#3. Budgeting Tools ##Family Finances Beginnings Started out just trying not to spend more than we earned. Didn't help plan for future. ##PhilosophiesLive month to month or get ahead. Found a program called [You Need A Budget][YNAB] that helps set aside money for big bills that come every year, as well as build up savings. Helps prepare for big expense times like Christmas, school dues... ##Budgeting ToolsStarted with [Quicken][quick], which tracked where money was spent. Good to start off with. Different types of budgeting tools, ones for free, one time fee, monthly fee. ###Free programs:Tried [Mint][Mint] but only told where money was spent. It has probably improved since we tried it 15-20 years ago. Spreadsheets like GoogleDocs or even homemade excel spreadhseets work for some people. [GnuCash][cash] works in Windows, Linux based, and Mac computers. ###One Time License Fee Programs: [Quicken][quick] Microsoft Money was mentioned but apparently it has been disconintued. [You Need A Budget][YNAB] ###Monthly Subscriptions: [Mvelope][MV] although the basic program is free, could pay $9.95/month for the premier package. Deseret News printed an [article][DN] in 2014 comparing the Mint, YNAB, Mvelopes and Check budgeting tools pointing out the pros, cons and costs of each as well as pointing out who that program works best for. #Organized Family FinancesThere are different philosophies and purposes with each program. Find a program that you can keep up with and fits your style, and then be consistent with it. Some programs download all the expenses from your bank into your budget so you don't have to type in every expense. Monthly meeting idea came from Dave Ramsey's [Financial Peace University][FPU]. He suggests discussing and making necessary money changes each month to your budget. But both members of family budget committee needs to agree on money numbers, not just one person. Make sure you set aside money for savings, charity and bills. Plan for future big bills, pay down debts. [Dave Ramsey][debt], [Simple Dollar][SDdebt] and [YNAB][YNABmethod] philosophies all say pay off debts. We've taken concepts from several budgeting principles and applied to our own budget. Pay bills right when you get them helps keep finances organized. It works because money is already earmarked for that bill. Takes awhile before categories are set in place with the money needed for each bill. You don't have to wait for the next paycheck in order to cover that bill. ##Paying bills routine:When bill comes in the mail, pay it right away. Write down the date it was paid, web confirmation number if paid online, then file it. ##Filing bills:Take a manila file folder and staple 6-12 papers onto it and label one month per page. We used to fit all 12 months in one file folder, but now split it into 6 months per file folder. Label year and months on the file tab. When looking for a past bill, open file labeled that year, go to paper with that month, and find bill stapled to that month. Budget programs are handy when searching for a specific expense that you have no idea of the date. Search in budget program, it tells you the date of purchase, and then go to the filed month and find bill or receipt. Keep all bills stapled to monthly paper and all bills are tight and contained. ##Filing receipts: Save receipt after purchase, enter into budgeting software which also syncs up with banking program when you download. Make note onto receipt saying it's been put into budget already. Put receipt into monthly envelope. Put all monthly receipt envelopes into one file for the year. Label everything! Label files with year and month contained. Label receipt envelopes with month of purchases.
