Financial Tips

Financial goals/issues:

It is important to agree on financial goals prior to combining your money.  Many marriages end over financial issues.  It is obvious that spending will likely decrease once you are married, but what corners will you cut?  Make sure you agree on the terms before you walk down the aisle.   Take a moment to brainstorm more helpful hints and fill in the blanks.
