Three people work through a financial plan together: build a six-month emergency fund, pay off credit card debt, then invest long term. What starts tense becomes aligned when they actually listen to each other.
Look at the way that you're both sitting when it comes to money.
Look, look.
Hello, everybody. I am nervous about money.
I need you both to sit up straight, lean forward, and get in the game. Let's do this. Go ahead, Tony, tell her what you want to do and then get her involved.
Okay. I want to open an emergency fund to have at least six months worth of expenses, not have any credit card debt. The rest of the money invested long term and not touch it. What do you think?
I agree. Because we don't know what's gonna happen next year.
Okay. I love it. I don't know why I'm getting so mad as I'm saying I love it, but I love it. That was really good.
