If Your Marriage Were a Business, Who Would Be the Chief Financial Officer?
In an informal poll of random people, I asked which of the following issues most commonly causes frustration in marriage: sex, kids, or money. Although many wanted to choose all of the above, most pointed to money as the top stressor. It's not surprising?"no matter how much or how little you have, financial discussions can quickly become contentious.
First, it's important to recognize that everyone comes from different financial backgrounds with diverse perspectives on money. Take Ann, who believes "a penny saved is a penny earned," and John, who lives by "live for today." Without clear communication about their financial goals, these differing philosophies can lead to conflict in purchasing decisions.
In business, when a company contemplates a financial commitment, a key player in decision-making is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This individual knows the numbers inside and out, making informed decisions based on financial data.
If your marriage were a business, who would be the CFO? Would you and your partner share the role? Do you regularly update each other on your financial situation?
In my work with salespeople, they often express a desire to increase sales and earn more. My first question is, "More than what? Where are you in real dollars?" If they can't immediately answer, it's clear they lack a firm grasp on their current financial situation.
Understanding your finances is crucial?"without it, you're flying blind. If you don't know your net worth or account balances, making informed spending decisions becomes impossible. This lack of awareness can frustrate the spouse who is financially informed.
It's not always the man who handles finances and the woman who spends without consideration. It can go both ways. It's not the informed spouse's responsibility to explain the financial position; instead, the other spouse should make an effort to understand it.
Just as businesses continually assess their numbers, individuals should too. Companies that ignore financial data don't last long. Similarly, individuals need awareness of their financial standings to make necessary adjustments.
In business, talking about money is essential. In personal life, it's just as important. Consider setting a monthly "money date" with your spouse to review credit card and bank statements. Calculate your expenses, create a mutual budget, and agree on financial goals. This way, you know what you can afford without needing constant consultations.
Couples who act as a financial team are less likely to argue about money. Since financial disagreements are common, discuss finances regularly, plan, budget, and set goals together?"just like any successful business would.
Good financial decisions are easier when the CEO and CFO of your "marriage business"?"both you and your partner?"understand the financial landscape.
