How Men and Women See Money
Two of the top reasons couples give for divorce are: communication and money.

The Differences Between Men and Women
Part of understanding our differences as husbands and wives is taking time to understand how each other communicates.
Making a Living or a Life?
People in the 1950s wondered what we would do with all the free time new technology would allow us to have in this century.
Man, did they miss that like a barn door! Americans are working longer and more frantically than ever before. They have no time or energy left over for the things that really matter.
Where Did It All Go?
Have you ever come to the end of the month and looked at your checkbook register and thought, Where did it all go?

Have you ever found yourself in a surprising situation? You know, nobody likes a surprise unless it comes with a bow attached. Have you ever gotten a surprise about your finances?
Those are the toughest! You start to realize that life has a way of sneaking up on your money and making it disappear.
