You may have heard that the topic that couples argue about most is money. So you can imagine that with rising unemployment and the unsteady economy couples would deal with even more money conflicts.

I am no longer a slave to my charge card and have inherited his good saving habits while he worries less about money and recognizes it as a means to an end and not the end itself.

So what can you do to limit your money arguments?

In their book, Get Financially Naked: How to Talk Money with Your Honey Manisha Thako and Sharon Kedar help you gain the confidence to bring up the money topic, evaulate your financial compatibility and how to plan and implement a successful money strategy.
