Phil's Personal Finance Tip of the Day:

The Love Story of You and Your Money

From Dave Ramsey.com

Whether you find yourself with no date, stuck on a blind date, or dating every single day, it’s time to DTBR—define the budget relationship.

Holidays like Valentine’s Day—full of hearts and roses and dizzying amounts of the color pink—make denying your relationship status almost impossible

Sure, in the past you’ve tiptoed around the labels. But you’ve been playing games for far too long. If you really want things between you and your money to be gushingly hunky-dory, you’ve got to take it to the next level.

It’s time to DTBR—define the budget relationship. Whether you find yourself with no date, stuck on a blind date, or dating every single day, you can use our guide below to get the conversation started.

 

No Date

When friends ask what you’re up to tonight, you respond with a coughing mumble. Your lack of financial plans might sound depressing to some, but the truth is you don’t need ’em! You’re fine all by yourself, thank you very much.

Just last week, you bought a brand-new pair of shoes because you wanted to. You don’t have to consult a budget. You’re free to spend as you please, without the ol’ ball and chain dragging you down.

Unfortunately, you and God’s ways of handling money need each other. A healthy relationship with money will challenge you to grow. Even better? Your money will grow too.
