Congrats – the Austin wedding is over, the honeymoon is done and the Thank You cards are mailed. You are now an “Austin couple” – just don’t forget to get your hipster cousin’s new address on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for one of your bridesmaid!
Time to be Austin adults, especially about money.
Why don’t we see how well you know each other, financially of course? Can you answer these questions about your new spouse?
(1) How much credit card debt does your new Austin spouse hold?
(2) How many bank accounts do you have combined?
(3) How much cash do you have combined, right now, in case of an emergency?
(4) How much does your “soul mate” pay on a car loan every month?
(5) What percentage of your combined income will go to your Austin housing?
I know, you need time to settle in – but don’t’ wait too long. Time works in your favor right now! Remember what Kim Kardashian said. “Compound interest is the eighth wonder world!” Oops, that was Albert Einstein – sorry.

Wow – having your finances in order is one less thing to worry (and argue) about!
Now if only we can agree on a name for the new kitten!
