Book Description

December 9, 2004
Money is a major cause of tension among modern couples because most fail to recognize that they are in business together. The 7 Most Important Money Decisions You'll Ever Make is the first book that teaches partners to apply skills and talents they already use at work to master their personal finances. The authors introduce a unique, revolutionary five-step decision-making process-complete with convenient worksheets and step-by-step instructions-to help couples take action toward realizing their dreams.

After you learn how this fun and surprisingly effective process works, you-and your partner-can work out inspired solutions to some of the biggest challenges couples face: wresting control of debt, maintaining your lifestyle if one of you loses a job, deciding whether and when to change careers, arranging for one partner to stay at home with the kids, and much more. Here is a powerful personal-finance plan that turns managing money into a shared romantic experience.

This review is from: The 7 Most Important Money Decisions You'll Ever Make (Paperback)
I'm only withholding the fifth star because I'm not finished reading the book, but so far it's been great. It's not too technical, and it presents what seems to be a reasonable approach to finances for couples. Much like successful dieting, this is not a short-term fix but a lifestyle change that provides a path for couples to follow and achieve success and happiness. Another great feature I like about the book is that one of the authors is not a finance person, so she injects "Real World" perspectives from time to time. I'm eager to finish the book and put the theory into practice.
