A smart couple with a healthy financial relationship is always talking about money and how they're handling it. If there's a medical emergency or a job loss, talk about it. If there's a windfall, talk about it. Your financial situation is a constantly changing thing.

I like the idea of having a paperless society.But to be paperless means you have to be so careful with your identity.

There's nothing wrong with having a 9-to-5 job, but figure out a way to have another stream of income.

We have to protect ourselves by doing our own homework.

If we don't want the companies to cheat on us, we shouldn't be cheating on them.

The schools can't cover all the values that go along with how you handle your money. For example, a financial literacy class might not teach me to hate debt the way my grandmother, Big Mama did.

Money may not be able to buy you love, but conflicts about it can certainly bankrupt your relationship.
