Greetings;
My wife and I have been married for over 20 years now and we where instructed by our church to attend a class prior to us getting married called marriage encounters. We discussed many aspects of marriage but not the financial side of our future lives together. If they did I do not remember it. So here is a link for those engaged to be married and wanting to be.

Financial planner meeting...
Greetings;
So I met with a financial planner and we are working on a strategy to get me out of debt and start saving for retirement. I was holding on to my wallet so firmly I thought I was going to pass out. But, he asked me how much more time I had and I told him that I was fading out from the deluge of information that was presented to my wife and I.
We decided it was best to re-schedule when I had more time so I could have a look at at my family budget. I was not prepared for him to just leave without asking for money and sign a lengthy contract. That took me by surprise, most people want to discuss numbers and then want to close the deal with your money in their pocket.
My great-grandmother used to say " the only friend you will ever have is that dollar in your pocket ". I've been chasing down that dollar ever since.

Greetings all,
I am now 50 years old, I've been working for as long as I can remember, started out with the yard work on other peoples houses, delivering newspapers what have you. Now that I'm getting close to retirement age, and I'm looking at my 401K and the answer is no. but I'm not alone and I'm looking for solutions to my retirement.
