Episode 5 - The F WORD?

Money problems don’t start with numbers—they start with misalignment.In this episode, we talk honestly about finances in relationships, beginning with a brief overview of the Dave Ramsey approach and then sharing how we customized it to fit real life. We explain our bucket-style bank account system, how we use a shared budgeting spreadsheet, and why systems—not willpower—reduced stress and conflict in our marriage.We also unpack common financial pitfalls couples face, including control, avoidance, unequal responsibility, and unclear expectations. To close, we connect money to productivity and purpose by highlighting insights from Financial Peace, Getting Things Done, and Knowing Your Why.Books: Crucial Conversations - https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Conversations-Tools-Talking-Stakes/dp/0071401946Financial Peace - https://www.amazon.com/Financial-Peace-Revisited-audiobook/dp/B007QSOTY2/Getting Things Done - https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0142000280/Knowing your why - https://www.amazon.com/Know-Your-Why-Finding-Fulfilling/dp/0718087712#FriendshipGoals #RealConversations #FaithAndLife #HealthyRelationships #IntentionalLiving #CommunityMatters #EmotionalHealth #ChristianPodcast #LifeWithPurpose #UnrehearsedPodcastSocial Media links @designofmovementAshley:  instagram.com/howardashley87Brandon: instagram.com/designofmovement
