How to Have The Money Conversation - Matthew & Leslie Part 1

Leslie was born in Dallas and she moved to Atlanta with her family when she was 10. She went to college in Boston at Brandeis University. She then came back to Atlanta and she actually one of Matthew's cousins. They one day ended up being at this cousin's Bar Mitzvah but they didn’t know each other and they didn’t even meet each other. Years later when they were both living in New York, they met and began dating. Leslie and Matthew then got married and moved to Atlanta. They have been married for almost 10 years.

Matthew's financial role after he got married was to execute taxes and to consolidate their bank accounts and their checking accounts and credit cards. Some bills are usually set to go out at the beginning of the month and some after the middle of the month. He is always looking out for how they can optimize the bills. On the other hand, Leslie has been kind of the watchdog making sure that Matthew is doing what he's supposed to be doing. She helps double-check and second guess Matthew's role and believes that her role is to kind of calm him down a little bit when it comes to the light bulb burning for an extra hour.
