What’s Obstructing Your View? | Date Your Wife | EP 098
*Encore presentation from May of 2019*
The conversation about the game of money is this week’s topic of the Date Your Wife podcast, a topic which proves to be a spicy one for married co-hosts Garrett J and Danielle K White.
How are you doing in the area of savings? How long would you be able to sustain your lifestyle if the money stopped coming in tomorrow?
Point #2: Obsession The challenge inside of marriage when it comes to the topic of money is this: making money, growing money, keeping money, and leveraging money. Seventeen years ago, after reading the book, ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad,’ Garrett realized for the first time that he could make money and became obsessed with it.Where are you as a couple when it comes to making & keeping money?
Point #3: Building a Legacy Danielle: We live an amazing lifestyle. I’m at the point where I want to be able to build a legacy, an empire. If we stopped working ten years from now, I want to know that we could still live our amazing lifestyle for years to come plus help our children if we needed to.
What do you ultimately desire?
Point #4: A Team Effort Danielle: Ladies, money is a tough conversation. Whether you’re a woman who can take care of herself, or you’re the Mom CEO of the family, it’s nice to have a guy that takes care of you.
How do you handle money decisions in your relationship?
Point #5: Maintain or Increase? Garrett to Danielle: Would you be willing to maintain our current lifestyle even though our businesses are increasing in revenue? We would maintain our current game, and everything else would go pure cash with no expense increase whatsoever in our personal lifestyle over the next five years.What are you willing to do in order to be able to put money away?
Communication Challenge:Have some conversations with your spouse about the game of money: making, growing, keeping, and leveraging money.
Date Night Topic:If the money were to suddenly stop coming in, how long would you be able to live your current lifestyle without changing anything?
