Hey smarty. Families. In particular, the parents and adults listening if there's one thing we all have in common, it's navigating the world of money. I hate to say it, but money is the number one thing that people in relationships argue over. Yet money is also something most people have a hard time communicating about. Which is why I'm so happy to recommend the Money for Couples podcast hosted by Ramit Sethi. In each episode, Ramit your meet helps couples stop fighting over money, improve communication, simplify budgeting, manage debt, and start building a shared financial future. Money for Couples offers real, actionable advice with stories from real couples facing the same financial challenges you might be dealing with. Like a recent episode I heard about a couple that was constantly in debt because one of them couldn't stop spending money and avoided talking about it. Ramit approaches each situation without judgment, but rather with good, solid advice on how to educate yourself about money and build better financial habits. Oh, and Ramit even offers amazing tips on how to educate your kids about healthy money habits. So search for money for couples wherever you're listening to WhoSmarted and start building your rich life today. Hello smarty pants and welcome to Trusty Trivia Thursday.
