❌ Don’t Lead With “Dave Says...”
Nope. Don’t do it. Your spouse doesn’t care what Dave thinks—they care what you think and why this matters to your family.
Budgeting and handling money together isn’t about convincing your spouse that Dave is right. It’s about connecting with them on what matters most: your shared goals, values, and future.
💬 Instead of quoting Dave, share your heart.
Why do you want to follow a plan? How will it help your family? Be honest about your hopes and dreams—and listen to their concerns too. That’s how you make real progress.
