Ep 87 – Aligning Your Financial Focus with Your Spouse w/Angie Carlson

Austin welcomes Angie Carlson, a financial coach with over 20 years of experience in finance, including a decade as a financial aid director. Angie owns Carlson Financial Coaching and specializes in helping clients manage their finances through better money communication, particularly among couples. Angie shares her personal experience of overcoming financial struggles with her husband, emphasizing that their success came from improving their communication rather than simply following a budget. They paid off significant debt and managed financial crises by agreeing on priorities and refining their approach through experimentation. She believes in making incremental changes rather than overhauling everything at once, and stresses the importance of understanding each other’s perspectives and motivations.

Ep 82-Why Bob is Nervous About Budgeting this Year

Coming off our conversation around managing finances and bank accounts as a couple, Bob shares his experience transitioning from managing expenses and a budget separately from his wife, to combining their expenses into a shared budget, while still maintaining separate checking accounts. This change was motivated by past struggles with financial management in previous marriages. Bob and his wife now use a joint budgeting app to track expenses, and continue to work on aligning this method with their individual budgeting styles. He talks about the benefits, challenges and overall perspective he is experiencing and how he hopes this will bring stronger financial unity to his marriage in the future.
