Ep. 148 - Dealing With Saver vs. Spender In Marriage and Business

We hope to save some marriages with this episode. Since money issues is the number one reason for conflict and divorce in a marriage, we would be remiss if we didn’t address it. The conflict boils down to this difference. One spouse is a saver while the other is a spender. It’s the same in our marriage. I (Robert) am the spender and Kay Lee is the saver. 

In this episode, we will share our story and how we’ve been able to reconcile these two extremes. You don’t have to choose one over the other. You can have both but it will take some compromise and creativity. So if you want to bring greater peace in your marriage, then click to listen and thank us later.
