Rarely is a couple's argument one-sided. Even though money is one of the arguments that come up again and again, many times, money fights really aren't about money.

On today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, we interview Cora Hietpas to talk to us about how to handle the dynamic of merging marriage and money successfully.

It is important for a couple to recognize each other's core values surrounding money. In many cases, values in money are different from each individual but are rarely talked about before and many years after committing to a relationship.

Cora emphasizes for couples to express their values in money as early as possible, in order to resolve any upcoming issues.

Cora also teaches us how to deal with complications if your spouse's value in money is different from yours. She believes that there has to be a coming-together, a compromise for each partner to lean-in toward one another, to get to that middle ground, and to reach a happy place for everyone.

Debt freedom always requires a level of sacrifice. The question is, are you willing to pay the costs that are associated with achieving such a goal? Stephanie and her family answered that question with a resounding YES! As a result, they successfully paid off over $144,000 of student loans in just 3 years!

Stephanie's road to financial freedom was not easy, but it is truly inspirational for all who take notice. On this episode of The His & Her Money Show, Stephanie shares all of the details of the journey to debt freedom that she and her family embarked on in hopes that anyone listening will see that they can do it too.

In order to dig your way out of debt, you are going to need to develop a level of determination that is higher than ever before. You are going to have to be willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your ultimate goal if you are really serious about it.

To help us discover the level of fortitude necessary to achieve debt freedom, we sit down with Rich and WIM from Paycheck & Balances. They break down their battle with debt and also talk about how you can break free from the bondage and stress, that being in debt brings about.

Paychecks & Balances is a fun and formative podcast covering work and money for the rising professional.

Some people try to find some well-known methods to solve their problems with debt, and some take an unorthodox approach.

Acquiring assistance from your parents could be something other people may disapprove of. On the other hand, it could help boost morale, aid you in straightening out your finances, and help achieve your goal of a debt-free life.

Family support is the topic of our guests, Staphon and Sheley, on today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show. Listen to the podcast as they share with us a testament to a loving and supportive family, which helped them pay over $70,000 of their debt in as short as 29 months.

A financial frame of mind could be one of the things that people seldom discuss with each other before getting into a partnership or marriage.

In many cases, the financial aspect of the relationship is dealt with long after conjugality has taken place. This could cause a stressful span of time in the partnership once they start dealing with their expenses, income, and debt.

We have Brad Sherman with us on this episode of The His & Her Money Show, to talk to us about how important it is for a couple to get to know each other’s outlook on the aspect of money management.

Sometimes, children can be your inspiration to get out of debt and build wealth. In other situations, however, hardships and sacrifices are a reality that couples have to face in order to get out of debt. The question is: What level of difficulty would you be willing to go through to achieve a debt-free life?

Some people take the hard road to get to the finish line the soonest, but many lose heart along the way. We hope to inspire you in today's episode of The His & Her Money Show, as Marcus and Ashley share with us their story of enduring the ball and chain of debt initially, and yet succeeded paying off $107,000 of debt in 33 just months.

In many cases, debt is not solely caused by acquiring just our needs, but at times could also come out of spending money on non-essential expenses…or what Shanny and Steve call it, “the stupid thing.” Getting rid of debt also calls for sacrifices and changes in a financial disposition that many people are often reluctant to embrace.

Shanny and Steve are with us in this episode of The His & Her Money Show, as they talk about how changing their lifestyle helped them pay off their debt, and also how the process helped them change their frame of mind in regards to their money. They also share how working for Uber played a role in their achievement of debt freedom.

Shanny and Steve started off with about $23,000 debt when they got married. Finding an apartment under $1,000 in California—an arduous feat—gave them the drive to come up with the means to achieve a debt-free life. There were hesitations and setbacks on changing their mode of living, but Shanny and Steve learned from their mistakes and evolved, and decisively came out with an enhanced and debt-free life.

Many people get into debt not just because they spend too much, but at times circumstances arise in life where some feel forced to use their credit cards. Paying your debt sometimes involves sacrificing a lot of comfort and desires, but it doesn’t have to feel that way forever. We have a lot to cover as we talk with Mike and Tawra in this episode, as they share with you how they got out of their $20,000 debt despite only earning a $22,000 income.

Mike and Tawra went through fortuitous unfortunate events that caused them to slip deep into debt, even as they started off paying Mike’s initial debt before marriage. They were focused and had their minds made up that they were going to rid themselves of their debt once and for all. They put to practice some strategies that helped them spend less and get a better approach to spending their money wisely, even after paying their debt off.

Mike and Tawra provide lots of money-saving content on their site Living On A Dime. They also have plenty of books and eBooks available to help you minimize expenses on cooking, groceries, and lots more.
