The World Does Not Need

When You Understand That Your Self-worth Is Not Determined By Your Net-worth, Then You'll Have Financial Freedom

After You Marry, Every Asset Either Of You Acquires Is Jointly Held. That's Why You Both Need To Be In Sync On Your Long-term Financial Goals, From Paying Off The Mortgage To Putting Away For Retirement. Ideally, You Should Talk About All This Before You Wed.

If Your Company Matches Your 401(k) Contribution, Then No Matter What, Contribute To Your 401(k) First. You Put In A Dollar, They Put In 50 Cents. It's An Automatic 50 Percent Return On Your Money. You Can't Pass That Up. I'd Rather Have The 50 Percent Than Pay 32 Percent Interest On A Credit Card.
