Send us a textMoney talks often lead to money fights—especially when a dedicated saver marries an enthusiastic spender. We're pulling back the curtain on our financial journey, revealing how our drastically different money mindsets have clashed, compromised, and ultimately created a stronger partnership.Katie grew up viewing money as something to protect and preserve, carefully saving birthday money and living with a scarcity mindset. Meanwhile, Joe approached finances with a "you can always earn more" attitude, finding joy in spending freely and worrying about tomorrow...well, tomorrow. Our house-buying journey has forced us to confront these differences head-on as we navigate one of life's biggest financial decisions.This episode explores how our upbringings shaped our financial perspectives, from Katie never filling her gas tank completely (just enough to get by!) to Joe viewing career choices primarily through the lens of providing for family. We discuss the spiritual dimensions of money management, sharing how faith communities have supported us and others during tight seasons, and why prosperity isn't measured by account balances.You'll hear practical advice about investing early, seeking financial guidance, and finding the delicate balance between saving for tomorrow and living fully today. We even reveal our top three spending categories (hello, Amazon addiction) and get vulnerable about our money mistakes. The conversation raises important questions about what it truly means to be "rich"—is it having wealth, family, purpose, or something else entirely?Whether you're struggling with a partner who views money differently, wondering how to approach retirement planning, or simply curious about how others handle their finances, this honest conversation offers both practical wisdom and permission to talk more openly about one of life's most taboo topics.
