If you’re married, your income belongs to your family. 

I still have calls with folks confused about this. 

Still using words like “her money” and “my money”. 

Marriage is a team sport. 

Time to act like a team, sport.

Ps I’m not talking about each partner having some “fun” money monthly. 

Clearly that’s just fine. 

I’m talking about the entire pot. 

It’s not all yours. Its OURS. (Ie your family’s)

Big difference.

I Help Couples Find Financial Peace Through 1-on-1 Coaching

My heart is SO full but I need time to process this weekend.

As a group of 5, we just completed a 200+mi relay in 30 hours. 

It was far more transformative than I could have imagined. 

Having run 7 of the legs, I’ll share 7 lessons. 
I have many dozen more to unpack. 

💀The best way to conquer your demons is to help some else conquer theirs 
👬Competitors aren’t enemies but friends on a different team  
❤️You don’t have to feel great to choose to be grateful
🏠Extraordinary results are never achieved alone 
⛅️Planning is important. Adapting is essential
📈Ego and becoming are inversely correlated 
🚶You can always take one more step

Whatever you’re facing this week, you’ve got it. 💪

Ps bonus lesson: asking people to jump after they complete an ultra marathon is cruel. 😅

I cried SUPER hard today after receiving two magnificent texts from current clients. 

1️⃣ We paid off 3 debts today and put $1,000 toward our largest and highest interest debt!

2️⃣ We have officially paid off both cars AND created our emergency fund :)

It’s a HUGE act of trust to let someone behind the curtain and into your intimate financial details. 

That act of trust is never lost on me. I cherish it. 

And my clients know that I always do everything in my power to help them win. Without judgment. 

To build unity, find peace and more prosperity than ever before. 

But to do all that, they have to be willing to ACT. 

To leave their comfort zones and trying new things. 

I’m not sure I’ll ever have words to describe how joyful it is to see people transform.

To have front row seats as they BECOME more of who they’re meant to me. 

To see them accomplishing their dreams and doing it in a way that strengthens their marriages. 

I feel so blessed to be able to call this my job. 

To all my past, current and future clients:

I love you. And I’m cheering for you. 
You can do this. 

Sincerely,
Chris

The Roth IRA is a total WASTE of time. 


“Just $580/mo can’t possibly have a material impact on my future.”

👆That’s a direct quote I heard

Let’s see what “just” $580/mo can do over time:

45 years -> $5.0M
40 years -> $3.1M
30 years -> $1.1M
20 years -> $398K
10 years -> $110K

Never, ever underestimate consistency + compounding. 

One small step at a time. 

Oh and, btw, all this money would be TAX FREE.

But, yeah, who cares about that. 
Just ignore the Roth IRA. 😏
Probably unimportant.

“Credit cards are not bad debt. There is no such thing as good or bad debt.”

Read this in a post a while back. 

The author’s premise was that even high credit card debt can be good. 

And they gave a wildly outlandish hypothetical example…

In which a person could get 30% guaranteed returns and, therefore, 

MAXING credit cards at 20% would be a “great deal”. 

I suppose in some alternate universe that logic might make sense. 

But on planet earth, people don’t max credit cards to invest and get guaranteed 30% returns. 

They use them to buy stuff they cannot afford. They struggle to make minimum payments. 

And the stress is often crippling and destructive. 

And that, my good friends, is definitely bad, not neutral.

Don’t be fooled by people trying to sell you stuff. 

Credit Card debt can destroy marriages. 

Here to help you. 

Cheering for you. 👏
