First Year Of Marriage – Ashley Kusi

Planning ahead for a yearly budget can help you think in longer terms. This benefits you by helping you both work towards the same financial goals, and helps keep you both on the same page when it comes to an important aspect in your marriage, your finances.

An Emergency Fund Besides the importance of budgeting together, saving is just as important, if not more important. We have an emergency fund that we never touch, unless it is an emergency. This fund has helped us keep from going into debt countless times and also provided us with a sense of security. For many years, our income was not steady. Our emergency fund relieved us of the money stress many couples have. For example, when our washer broke, we simply went shopping for a great used one because we had an emergency fund.

Instead of buying a custom-color brand-new set, we used cash for an older used one that was still in great condition. By using cash, we felt every dollar we spent, which helped us spend as little as we could for the best value we could get. When we had a month with no income, we were able to pay all our bills on time and not have additional stress, simply because we had an emergency fund.

We strongly believe your marriage would benefit from having an emergency fund too. Chapter Five: Your Money and Your Marriage Agreeing together on money may not happen overnight. It took me a while to come to my senses and agree with this way of thinking. Marcus was patient and compromised with me through this learning curve.

Once I saw it working, paying off our small debts, having that security of an emergency fund instead of a credit card, I was sold! It was worth it because, in the most financially stressful time of our marriage, having this emergency fund took so much of that stress off our shoulders. I get really stressed when it comes to money and not having enough of it.

The first few times we needed to dip into our emergency fund made it all worth it.
