Stop Arguing About Money, Get Out of Debt In Three Steps and Live a Life of Money Abundance

book only

(This 2 minute video explains what the Money Academy is and how it can help you.  You can watch it or read the following.)

Is your spouse driving you nuts when it comes to money?

Are you constantly fighting about spending or debt?

Are you walking on eggshells – afraid to even bring up the subject?

Do you feel alone and misunderstood by your spouse?

Your financial life used to be so simple and now it’s just frustrating.

Half of all marriages end in divorce.  Why?

Money is the number one issue.

My Story

I landed in that financial hotseat about 10 years ago myself. I was about to lose my wife and family for these very same reasons.

Even though I’m a financial adviser, I lived in complete financial fear ever since I was in high academy. Both my parents died by the time I reached age 17. My mother died of cancer and my father died in an airplane crash two years later. For a very short time, I bounced around from one friend’s house to another. Even though I didn’t sleep underneath a highway overpass, it felt like I did.

I was frightened and angry. I grew up with a lot of emotional and financial fear. Those fears didn’t subside even when I had my own family and started making money.

To make a long story short I graduated college, asked the woman of my dreams to marry me (she said yes) and started working.  Having a family and income of my own solved some of my problems – but not all of them.

When we got married, my wife had very little experience dealing with finances and we had very different views on what was and what was not a good way to spend.

She wasn’t extravagant but she wanted to enjoy life. I was still living in financial fear and wanted to save everything we possibly could.

Disagreements turned into arguments. We were on opposite sides of the street when it came to money and it was causing huge problems in our relationship.

The fun was gone. Unkind words were exchanged. I grew suspicious of the way she spent money so I became controlling. She felt that I had taken away her happiness, freedom, friends and life. She was so depressed she didn’t know what to do.

She wanted to spend money we didn’t have – and I didn’t want to spend the money that we did have. She wasn’t being responsible and I wasn’t being loving. How did it ever get that bad?

It was hell!

I had the financial expertise but it didn’t matter because we didn’t know how to work together. I tried to convince her why we shouldn’t spend and she tried to convince me why we should. We had no balance – just grief. I read books and reports. I got free information offered on websites. And I didn’t find ANYTHING that actually worked. As I later learned, I could not see the problem –it was hidden from both of us.  The same problem that is hidden from you, which I am about to reveal.

PROBLEM #1- Most financial books tell people what to do to get out of debt, get their spending under control or save and invest better. I gave all those books to my wife – but nothing changed.  None of those books got us together working on this as a joint project. In fact, every time I gave her something new to read, her resentments grew.  If it was if I was telling her the problem was all hers and it pissed her off.

PROBLEM #2- Books on relationships are great for improving communication skills but they don’t provide any useful financial education with it. We became very skilled at communicating – but that didn’t solve our problems.

Problem #3 – Couples counseling is also a great way to improve communication skills. But therapists aren’t trained financial counselors. They didn’t know how to help us agree on reasonable spending and budgeting goals. They just helped us talk about the problems more amicably. (Oh so useful.)

With all the half-baked solutions floating around, I decided to do my own work. I was determined not to let money stand between me and my wife.  I lost one family….and I wasn’t about to go through that again. And after literally spending 10 years of searching and consulting with therapists, counselors and men’s groups (on top of the 25 years I’d spent as a professional Certified Financial Planner), I found several unique ways to put sound financial advice together with specific exercises to get my wife and I on the same page working together in the same direction.

What a burden lifted off my shoulders!

Techniques we use together to hammer out our budgets, how to save for the future, how to get out of debt completely (we did that in 2008 – including paying off our mortgage), how to prioritize, etc….

In fact, as a couple, we got a lot more out of resolving these money issues than just improving our financial lives. In the 23 years we’ve been married, our relationship has never been better.  I don’t even remember the last time we argued about anything.

What I’m offering on this site is a way for you to save your money and your relationship for less than you spent on your last meal out. An opportunity to stop arguing about finances while getting your budget, spending, and debt under control once and for all.

Here’s just one module you can review right now for free:

Dollarize Your Behavior

Grab the entire course right now.

My program Money Academy for Couples – How to Get Your Spending, Budget and Debt under Control and Stop Worrying and Fighting About Money is the key to having a wonderful relationship and financial situation, without having to get a couples counselor or financial adviser.

This program is to the point. It’s made up of 10 quick videos (each 5 to 10 minutes long) with accompanying exercises and spreadsheets. The program is interactive. You and your partner watch the short video together and then go through the exercises together. No more excuses about not having the time to read an entire book. It’s not slick.  It’s just me talking with you about techniques that work.  We talk about the same things we’d go over if we could sit down together for several hours.

Spend 30 minutes a night together working on this for a week or two and you’re there. I don’t give you any information on how to invest your money. People rarely split up because of investment disputes. They do split up over budget, debt and spending problems.

This report gives you exact step-by-step instruction on:

  • Getting a quick start to a stronger relationship, improved financial situation and better life. At the end of the first 10 minutes, you’ll have a signed written commitment from each other promising to work together towards a better future in these areas.
  • The most important financial question you never asked yourself and how it will get you and your partner on the same page financially – and keep you both there.
  • What financial behaviors need to change (for both you and your partner) in order to find common ground? This module helps you pinpoint those issues.
  • Dollarize your behavior. Are you spending your time well? Is your partner? This module will help you see the true cost of your behaviors.
  • Track your spending. The most important ingredient of financial success is spending control. You might earn $75,000 – but if you spend $85,000 you’re going to end up in the poor house sooner or later. Everyone knows they should track their spending but most of us don’t do a very good job of it. It can be a lot of work and it’s tough to track every little expense. After you go through this module and exercises you’ll be able to track your spending (and tame it at the same time) in less than 5 minutes a month.
  • Stop Digging yourself deeper in debt. Do you have good debt or bad debt? I’ll explain the difference and if you have bad debt, here are the practical tools you need to stop digging yourself deeper.You’ll know exactly how much you need to increase earnings or cut spending in order to stop creating more debt.
  • How to get out of debt, Now that you’ve stopped digging deeper, let’s get you out of your existing debt. Here’s a systematic approach you’ll use to eliminate your debt that is almost effortless.
  • Why you may have failed in the past and how to correct that mistake once and for all.Do you know the definition of insanity? It’s doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome. Have you tried to correct your financial ship in the past only to find yourself right back where you started? That’s because you haven’t identified the root cause. This module identifies it for you.
  • Priority matrix Are you confused about what financial goal to save for first? For example, should you put money aside for college saving first or for retirement? Do you ever argue with your partner about these issues? Here’s a simple tool you can use to make sure you never argue about your financial priorities ever again..
  • PLEASE NOTE…This will work for you if you and your spouse are committed to improving your relationship and financial situation and are open minded.  Guaranteed.  Couples fail because one person tries to manipulate the other into changing. That’s not what this program is about. I’m going to show you what you need to do in order to get out of debt, get your spending under control and work together as a couple.  I’ll be with you every step of the way and I’ll explain everything in plain English.  I’ll give you exercises that are designed to get you working on this as a team and it will work.  But I’ll tell you one thing upfront. Don’t get this program if you think your other half is the only one who needs to learn something.  You both have to be open minded.  Other programs will tell you that you can save your relationship even if you are the only one who is willing to do the work. That’s a bunch of crap. Don’t believe it. The good news is Money Academy handles this problem up front. In fact, the very first module asks you and your partner to make a written, signed commitment to do the work. If either of you aren’t willing to do that, pack it in. Don’t waste your time. At least all your wondering if he or she is ever going to get it together will be answered.

    Yes, the entire course will take you both about 3 or 4 hours to go through including watching the videos and doing the interactive exercises. It’s concise. It contains resources that I’ve actually used myself and with my clients over the last 10 years. I’m happy to report, no divorces since! But more importantly this program doesn’t just tell you what to do….it actually gets you and your partner off your butts and gets you both into action. Lots of people know what to do to I improve their finances. They still don’t do it. This program solves that problem – or your money back.

    Let’s me share a few Money Academy success stories:

    avatar"I have always been "frugal" and this made spending money on my girlfriend difficult.

    Having been with my girlfriend now for over three years there have been the occasional fights over money.

    After going through Neal's program the fights have ended. Now we are both on the same page financially. I have learned to be more understanding of her financial situation, and in doing so I now have more fun! Neal's program not only helped me and my girlfriend with our finances, but it also helped open my eyes to the concept of working to live and not just living to work!

    Thanks Neal!!"

    My husband and I just started getting financially “on the same page” when we started watching your video. Working through each of the modules has given us a non-threatening and interesting format to discuss some important issues in depth. It’s opened the lines of communication beyond just bills and spreadsheets when it comes to our financial future as a couple.
