Thank you Lynne for caring and sharing
Do I really have to change the oil???? Just kidding. As you know, I would do it in a heartbeat for my dear wife.
Come to think of it, I already do!

Good stuff Jimm!
To add to what you said, Valentine's Day is for both of you, to celebrate your special love and connection. So plan something that the both of you like to do, be up-front with the budget in mind and talk about what you're planning and if you had it your way, how you'd rather shower her in gifts!
PS- We went to the new Gold Cinema in Pasadena to see the movie Avitar! It takes going out for a dinner and movie to a whole new level of service and luxury (with more bang for your buck!). This little discovery made our Valentines Day celebration a winner!

Diamonds, and trips are great! I was able to buy them for myself before I found my valentine, and I agree that what truely matters is knowing that you are cherished. We all sparkle a little more when we know we are loved. God bless you and your beautiful long stemmed yellow rose, Susan!

Jimm-

You are right on target with this post. It's not the money or the size of the gift that melts a woman's heart. It's the love, thoughtfulness, and tenderness of the giver. If money is tight, do the dishes and the laundry for a week or change the oil in her car. Add some loving words, a few extra hugs, and that will be a Valentine's day to remember.

Re: 10 Steps to a Secure Financial Future

Love and money is a motivating force for a lifetime commitment between husband and wife. Where there is love, there goes the money. Where does the line get drawn between love and money? Or is there one? If a rich person is getting pursued by a person who isn't rich – that's one thing, but if couples are serious about each other, there has to be financial communication. If one person has their act together, and is paying off debt, and the other is constantly running for payday loans, this will create problems. As a couple, you have to hash these things out – work out financial goals, meet or exceed them, and have everything planned to the tee. That way, you can have the security of love and money that makes for a great relationship.

Thanks Jimm for this timely reminder. Many years ago I abdicated my finances to my husband who was a CPA and did a great job. When he became seriously ill for more than a year, I had a tough time sorting out all our accounts, bills, and payments. I learned the hard way that I needed to pay more attention to our money, even with a wonderful partner.

Your words are very wise.

Great stuff to begin the New Year!
As an entrepreneur, I especially connected to both manage your cash flow and to pay yourself first.
An "old school" type friend of mine used the story of the farmer who grew potatoes. He would say, "the smart farmer would eat only half of his crop so he could replant the rest to grow more potatoes for the next crop" (apparently that's how we farm "spuds") and he created that scenario for himself. He also called it his "vacuum" system, every time money came his way, he first paid himself, then was forced to work with what he had leftover. He always seemed to take care of all the bills, the employee payroll and recreation time by doing this method.
Thanks for the New Year reminder!

Thank you for your comment and your recognition of lessons learned. It takes courage to acknowledge our mistakes and is the first step to healing
Wishing you the very Best of luck Jim

Jimm, thank you for taking this below the surface answer to the question of why we cheat! You discussed some very important, timely, and "fixable" characteristics we all have. As for me, I'll digest your words and keep that finger pointed at me to see how those three factors impact my relationship with my sweetie. Again, thanks!

As one who made those mistakes and now suffer the consequences, I have to say that you are absolutely, directly on target.

Jimm,

Thank you for the eye-opener! I hope that my husband and I can look at each other in such a time of crisis and have the same answer. And thank you, also, for sharing your "strange" source of wisdom!
