Quotes to ponder:
"A family who has regular money talks and budget meetings is more likely to be financially successful and happy than a family that doesn't."
"Money talks and budget meetings do not have to be excruciatingly long. They can be as short as 10 minutes, so there is no reason to not have them regularly."
"Everyone should be aware of their financial situation. It's not fair for one person to manage it all, and you would be in for a rude awakening if something were to happen to that person."
