Christopher Woods+Followarguing over spending? this one habit saved our marriage and moneyEvery couple has “the fight.” Ours was always: “Why did you buy that?” I’m the planner. He’s the spender. For years, we repeated the same argument every month — and watched our savings stall. What finally changed everything? One habit: weekly money check-ins. Every Sunday night, we sit down for 20 minutes. We look at our bank balance. We review what we spent. And we plan what’s coming. It’s awkward at first. But now? It’s routine. He knows when to pause a purchase. I know when to loosen up. And together, we’ve paid off $12,000 in debt and started investing for our future. Money doesn’t ruin marriages. Silence does. #Finance #MakeMoney #Marriage42Share

Christine Baxter+FollowHow to Max Out Your Savings This FallLooking for a smart spot to park your cash?

If you want flexibility and a little extra interest, now’s the time to lock in a short-term CD before rates drop. Pro tip: Mix in a no-penalty CD for easy access, or try a CD ladder if you like having options. Your future self will thank you! #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyHacks00Share
Kathryn Olsen+FollowWhy Do Private Jets Get a Free Pass?Ever wondered why flying private or taking long-haul flights feels like a VIP club? Turns out, the EU gives these flights a tax break on pollution, letting the ultra-wealthy skip out on billions in taxes. If those loopholes closed, the EU could rake in over $1 trillion and maybe even cool the planet a bit. But the real question: will the rich ever actually pay up, or will regular travelers end up footing the bill? #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyTalks10Share

Robyn Anderson+FollowHow Much to Save for a $4M Retirement?Ever wondered what it takes to retire with $4 million by 2050?

Inflation means your future millions won’t stretch as far, so the earlier you start, the better. And don’t forget: invest in your health, too, so you can actually enjoy those golden years! #Business #MakeMoney #RetirementGoals52Share
