EP50: Couples & Finances w Ashley

On this episode of Roadmap to Retirement, I am joined by  Ashley Quamme, a certified financial therapist and behavior specialist, to discuss the intersection of mental health and financial management. Ashley details her transition from being a marriage and family therapist to specializing in financial therapy, emphasizing the importance of understanding money dynamics in relationships. We explore how financial attitudes and behaviors are influenced by upbringing and experiences, the significance of communication and transparency about finances within couples, and the role of 'money dates' in fostering financial harmony. Ashley and I also discuss the importance of teaching children about money and financial responsibility, offering insights into how parents can prepare their kids for financial independence. Thank you for listening, as always, come back next week for a new episode!
