LISTEN ON:

MTI128: Marriage and Money, with Couple Money’s Elle Martinez

Elle Martinez from Couple Money joins us to talk about the HOW of talking about money with your partner.

Elle says to avoid talking about numbers when you first start a conversation about money.

Instead, talk about your goals. The goals will lead you to the decisions you make about how money is spent and saved, which then leads to a discussion about the numbers.

She also says it’s healthy to go on Money Dates. Elle and her husband leave the kids with a babysitter and go to a nice restaurant. They don’t whip out the budget but they do talk about what happened the previous month, where they are on their path to reaching their long and short-term goals, and where they can make adjustments.

A hot topic between couples and our panelists is the role a financial advisor plays in a couple’s finances. When you do bring one into the “relationship”? All that is discussed in this episode of the Money Tree Podcast.

About our sponsor, BUZZ Index

Ever wonder if there were a way to capitalize on all of that online chatter made by millions of investors on social media? Well, your wait is over, because now advances in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing technologies are at your fingertips…. even if you personally don’t use social media! The BUZZ Index, licensed to an exchange-traded fund and trading under ticker symbol BUZ, provides investors with a portfolio of securities that delivers a basket of large-cap U.S. equities exhibiting the highest degree of positive investor sentiment. No surveys. No guessing. BUZ only tracks what’s volunteered – and if you ARE online, you know that a lot of information is volunteered: millions of posts, comments and blogs are analyzed each month!

Here’s how it works:. First, BUZZ targets the most mentioned large-cap U.S. stocks across the Social Media landscape. The more active the conversation, the greater the reliability of the BUZZ.

Each of the most-mentioned stocks is then given an insight score based on BUZZ’s proprietary analytics and the 75 stocks with the most Bullish scores are included in the Index. Each month the BUZZ is tracked to capture the latest Big Data-driven insights and then the 75 companies with the most Bullish scores are selected, positioning BUZZ to capture the highest return potential.
