Author of Escape the Paycheck to Paycheck Trap Reveals How Newlyweds Can Avoid a Lifetime of Money Stress
FORT WAYNE, Ind., April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- During wedding season, many couples will tie the knot without ever having had one very important conversation: the one about money. As financial coach and high school counselor Tina Antrim has learned firsthand from working with couples, money stress is common, leads to frequent arguments and can largely be avoided by talking about how money will be handled before the wedding ceremony takes place.
In her just-released book, Escape the Paycheck to Paycheck Trap: The Ultimate Plan to Get Out of Debt and Supersize Your Savings (Life Change Publishing), Antrim devotes an entire chapter to financial advice for millennials; that generation is starting married life with more college debt than their parents did. The advice she has to offer is also informed by the money mistakes she made as a former big spender who used to live paycheck to paycheck as 78 percent of adults in the U.S. do.
In an interview, Antrim can share:
- The two primary reasons people struggle financially and how to overcome them.
- Why it's important for newlyweds to avoid following the crowd or trying to impress other people when planning their wedding and honeymoon
- Ways couples can get into trouble if they marry someone who thinks like they do—or is their polar opposite
- Suggestions for handling student loan debt
- How people's money stories can impact their marriage
- How to use the "70-30 Rule" to achieve financial freedom
