In many cases, people may struggle with setting financial goals or keeping themselves on track to complete their goals. Oftentimes, this is more than likely due to communication problems. Talking about your goals is one thing, but what and how to talk about setting goals is another. Today, we have financial expert Michael F. Kay talk to us about his book (The Feel Rich Project) that introduces a different approach in integrating life into money, instead of the other way around.

Delving into financial progress isn’t simply about setting numbers and strategies to implement. Since money is also an emotional issue, people need to be aware of how they communicate in relation to creating their plans. In this episode, Michael teaches us about identifying the important factors to consider when building a comfortable and exciting financial plan that works for you, and that enables yourself to follow through with achieving your financial dreams.

Michael Kay started his career as a CPA before founding and becoming president of the multi-advisor financial life planning firm, Financial Life Focus.

For Melissa Thomas, her goal for debt freedom was to be able to go and see her favorite singer perform, as often as she wanted. She didn't just create a goal, but she went after it with full force. Melissa and her family were able to successfully pay off over $43,000 worth of debt in just 4 years.

In this episode of The His & Her Money Show, Melissa shares all the details about her journey to debt freedom. Her story is sure to inspire you to charge with the same veracity after your financial goals too.

Financial infidelity can be defined as the secretive act of spending money, possessing credit and credit cards, holding secret accounts or stashes of money, borrowing money, or otherwise incurring debt unknown or unwilling to one’s spouse, partner, or significant other. Unfortunately in many marriages, infidelity of this sort is a very present threat to the health of that union.

The good news is that there is hope if you find yourself faced with this situation. We can personally speak to this fact because financial infidelity almost ruined our relationship. 

However, through prayer and perseverance, we were able to recover from it. To help us navigate this tough topic, we reached out to lawyer and author Valerie Rind to shed some light on this subject.

If you have ever wondered, how two spouses can create a successful business together, then this episode of The His & Her Money Show is for you. Entrepreneurship gives you the opportunity to create a legacy for years to come.

Who better to create that legacy with, then your spouse? For many, the thought of creating a business with your spouse can seem a bit daunting and overwhelming.

With that thought in mind, we sat down with Greg & Holly Johnson of Club Thrifty. They detail their journey of successfully transitioning from both of their 9 to 5 jobs, into full-time business owners.

Not only will their story inspire you, but it will show you that you have what it takes to accomplish your entrepreneurial goals as well.

If you want to achieve any financial goal, you are going to have to maintain superior focus. As an example, by becoming a focused spender, Kamilah O'Brien paid off 65,000 dollars of student loans in just 3 years!

Debt freedom can be yours if you want it bad enough. Kamilah wanted it so bad; that she was able to do whatever it took, even working additional side jobs, to get across the finish line.

Her hard work and dedication paid off in a big way, and now she is debt-free! Kamilah's story serves as a wonderful example that debt freedom is truly an attainable goal.

If you have a desire to build wealth, then this episode of The His & Her Money Show is just for you. Many people have wealth-building on their "to do" list, but few actually are able to make it happen.

The truth is there are rules that must be followed if you truly desire to build wealth for you and your family. Not only rules, but there are 10 Commandments of Wealth Building that you should know about as well.

To help us with this topic, we talk with Todd Tresidder of Financial Mentor. Todd has been a serial entrepreneur since childhood and went on to build his own wealth as a hedge fund investment manager, before “retiring” as a millionaire at 35.

There is no set of numbers that have a bigger impact on your financial life, than your credit score. Whether or not you choose to improve your credit score can have either a negative or a positive impact on your lifestyle, from a financial standpoint.

Your credit score has a direct impact on your ability to purchase a home, qualify for insurance, and even land a job. Since your credit score has the ability to affect such vital areas of your life, it is truly imperative that you take the steps necessary to improve your credit score.

We tackle this topic on this episode of The His & Her Money Show. We interviewed Marsha Barnes of The Finance Bar, and she shed valuable insight on how your credit score can be better understood, and ultimately improved.
