Financial strategies that help couples start off on the right foot

Couples today face a far more complex financial environment than their parents could have imagined. The Young Couple's Guide to Growing Rich Together addresses issues unique to those just starting out--from limited incomes and college debt to home purchases, new babies, and more--and provides the knowledge and tactics necessary for juggling these financial responsibilities while also working on the nonfinancial aspects of a still-developing relationship.

Featuring strategies that are both sensible and realistic, this financial planning guide explains how to tackle the smaller issues before they grow to take on a life of their own.

Sample topics include:

• Techniques for combining personal budgets
• Determining whether a prenuptial agreement is appropriate
• How to address financial "differences of opinion"
