Are you a People Pleaser when it comes to how you manage money with your spouse?

Years ago, Dylan realized he was a people pleaser. If Rebecca wanted to, she could have exploited Dylan's "Nice Guy" tendency to let her spend money how she wanted. Instead she encouraged Dylan to stand his ground and hold her accountable.

As we started coaching, we noticed a similar dynamic in other couples. The people pleaser would struggle to uphold financial boundaries or to hold their spouse accountable. They felt like they couldn't say "no" without causing a problem.

But “People Pleasing” can make reaching financial goals impossible. If you give your spouse a pass when they spend more than they said they would. Then you’re both going to continue feeling frustrated with your finances.

In this episode we share our experiences with people pleasing and managing money as a couple. Find out how learning to say "no" and holding each other accountable will help you reach your goals!
