The Saver and The Spender in a Marriage: Michael + Kelsa

Meet Kelsa & Michael Dickey, incredible people, and owners of one of the largest financial coaching company in Arizona. Michael is a self-proclaimed "spender" in the relationship, while Kelsa is a self-proclaimed "saver". They share so openly and authentically about the lessons they've learned in marriage and in business together. You will know just how to handle one person being a saver and one being a spender to have your money work for you. You will have powerful stories and principles about money, parenting and marriage; leaving you feeling peace and connection with your partner as you go on this journey of marriage together.  Questions Asked In This Interview: Kelsa, What held you back from asking Michael for help in the business and with family? Michael, how did you feel when she asked you for full-time help in the business? How can couples have an easier transition into going into business together? How can couples be more open and transparent with the roles at home? What challenges do most couples run into with money? Where does the "wing-it" syndrome with money come from? Do money patterns come from inheriting them from our family or parents? Is it ok to have one partner in a marriage be the spender and one the saver? If not, causes too much conflict, how do they overcome this money mentality? We've talked to some couples who get advice from their parents about money, but times have also changed? Do you see that couples have different money management options that their parents didn't have? When is the "right" time to merge money together? Quotes: "The biggest hindrance is the 'good enough syndrome'.... well it's good enough, well we're not bad, but we're not feeling in control or on the same page with our money."
