Welcome to Couple Money! Couple Money is my new blog that I started to organize some of my personal passions. I’ve been blogging for about about 3 years and have blogged about personal finance for over 2 years. My focus before was personal finance for college students and new graduates, but now I’m really looking at how couples work together to handle their money.
Our Financial Goals
We’re not frugal people just to be frugal. We have taken some time to really discuss this and decided on working towards doing what we’d love to do. We’re using our lives with this blog as one long case study as we try to reach our financial and career goals.
We hope to reach our goals within 5 years.
What’s Couple Money About?
Couple Money is about family and finances. My plan for this blog is to keep track of our family’s steps towards financial freedom. I’ll try to keep this personal finance site focused on topics that we face in the real world. I enjoy reading and writing about personal finance. Some topics you may notice covered here:
Community and Comments on Couple Money
I love reviewing thoughtful comments from readers and I love having a community of knowledgeable and passionate people. With that mix, it sometimes can cause a bit of friction. Some topics within personal finance have several ‘right’ answers and I think sharing different view points can be helpful, so I tend to ask your thoughts on topics. I like to think of my blog as an extension of my home and want to keep a friendly tone.
While we can disagree on some things, I expect the conversation to be civil and productive. Please remember that I will delete comments that include:
- Bad language or offensive material
- Get Rich quick schemes, pyramid marketing schemes, or any other money scams
- Spam comments about your non-related blog
Disclaimer:
I’m upfront and I’ll let you know that I’m not a financial guru. I’m constantly learning about personal finances and this blog is just a collection of the tips and life lessons I picked up. Couple Money is not intended to be a source for professional advice.
If you’re looking for professional help with your finances, try using The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) to find a fee based financial planner. They should be able to work with you and your individual financial situation.
