Episode 33 - Financial security: when enough is enough

Episode 33 - Financial Security: When enough, is enough In this episode, we explore financial security not necessarily through the lens of a monetary amount, but rather through ‘feelings’. We discuss how ‘enough’ is not an end goal that one achieves to reach but a state of emotional confidence and peace that is supported by preparedness and aligns with your financial reality and the importance navigating that as a couple. Some key ideas we explore: How financial security and what is enough changes depending on the season of life you’re in How lifestyle creep quietly undermines security, even as income increases Why shared “no’s” are just as important as shared goals Practical, real-life examples of what “enough” can look like How couples can get on the same page with each other, not against each other Guardrails that help protect security and enough over time At the end of the day, security grows when couples are more aligned emotionally and practically, so here are some conversation starters to help you both if you want to keep the conversation going or started, try asking each other: What does financial security mean to you? What helps you feel safe and what triggers anxiety around money? What does “enough” look like for this season of our lives? What financial situations do we never want to repeat? Does this expense move us closer to security or just comfort? You don’t need perfect answers, just shared language and be a good and active listener! *****Make sure to hit the subscribe button and join the conversation!***** Follow our socials Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the.moneymatrimony/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/themoneymatrimony Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-money-matrimony Disclaimer Please note that nothing in this podcast should ever be considered personal financial advice.
