5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for Couples Having Money Trouble,
By Mike Piper (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Money Academy For Couples (Paperback)
If you and your spouse/partner either a) fight about money or b) struggle with your finances (credit card debt, for instance), this is a great resource.
This isn't a book about theory or academic financial studies. It's a "hands on" sort of book, with lots of exercises/discussions to have with your spouse and concrete steps to take to start moving forward financially. Fair warning though: It's just a book. After reading it--or, hopefully, *as* you read it--you actually have to put it into action if you're going to improve your situation. To his credit, Frankle makes a point of telling you throughout the book to actually go and *do* the exercises. But, of course, it's all up to you in the end. As a bonus, there's a great chapter on choosing a financial advisor. The author gives you the lowdown on the differences between brokers, CFPs, insurance agents, RIAs, and so on. (This is a field with many conflicts of interest, so it's handy to have a guide for how to find somebody who will look out for your interests rather than their own.)

Great Resource for couples,
This review is from: Money Academy For Couples (Paperback)
If you're in a relationship this is THE resource for you. The #1 topic of most fights is money. With divorce rates so high if you can make a plan, and avoid pointless fights over money, you can improve your relationship tenfold.
The book is short-but has fantastic questions that will help you and your spouse get on the same page about money. I recommend using it as a resource for a weekly money meeting with your spouse. Before you know it you will have a plan, and be ready to payoff your debt, and create not only a stronger financial plan,but a stronger family and marriage.

Every couple should read this book!,

This review is from: Money Academy For Couples (Paperback)
Let's face it... couples and money rarely mix. As Neal points out, half of marriage end in divorce and the far, far majority sight money as the core issue. It's a huge area of stress, fights, and communication breakdowns.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Neal Frankle is a Certified Financial Planner with decades of experience in dealing with couples and money. His passion and his contagiously positive attitude shine through in his writing. Rather than produce a textbook or a manual, Neal has compacted his top action steps into an easy-to-digest book, specifically designed for couples. It's a straight forward, high impact, and interactive experience. It's the perfect format for couples who want to tackle the book together. You'll learn how to get out of debt, fix any leaks in your budget (or start a simple one you can stick to), and secrets to communicating about money with your spouse. Neal Frankle is the real deal. He's not a shammy guru or an holier-than-thou expert. He brings decades of certification and experience, but approaches you with the type of advice you get from a friend over drinks. If I could give Neal Frankle and Money Academy for Couples 6 stars... I would! You can't go wrong!
