Financial accountability takes time. # 3

I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M I’m single, have been widowed several years. So financial conversations are easy. I talk to me in the mirror. During 41 years of marriage, my husband and I learned that every season required new and different conversations about our finances. How important is owning our own home? Are vacations important? If so, where do they fit in the budget?
V Nice cars were existent in our marriage until we adopted three boys, ages 6, 7 and 8. A used van, room for a basket ball team and lots of groceries. Even after compromise and change, life changes again. Budget discussion time is not when you are tired and hungry. Bad idea. Those regular conversations are so important that they deserve a place in the calendar.
