I'm so lucky to have access to interesting people. Life would be so boring if everyone was like me...thankfully that is not the case.

I sat down with two of my very best friends, who also happen to be my literal next-door neighbors. We met and essentially fell in love during COVID when we moved in next door and the rest is history.

Bryson is an Airfield Manager in the Military and Jackie is a teacher and pretty much the CEO of the Barnette household. We sat down to talk about navigating marriage when the Military is priority one in the relationship. These two have found a consistent balance within the chaos and are candid about the difficulties they have experienced living within a military marriage.

Enjoy!

For me, choosing a business partner was a very important decision. I needed to know that I could trust this person with my personal financial information and trust that they were going to be as committed to building a thriving business as I was. Being friends with the person would be a bonus, but not required.

However, I got very lucky in business. My business partner, Emily Hepner, not only is one of my favorite people but the trust and respect I have for her as a business owner continues to grow each year we work together.

We approached the building of our business very similarly to how we encourage our clients to approach premarital planning. We had a plan, we had hard conversations, and then we put it into a legally binding agreement.

In this episode, we talk about our relationship dynamics and how it helps us operate our business each day. Our relationship is stronger because of the work we did before we decided to hang our shingle.

Hey Hey Friends, it's me. Just me Chelsea Pagan.

Today I want to talk about Savings and investment discussions to have with your partner before you say I do.

This conversation is highlighted in my Marry Me Smart Course and is an important topic to address so you and your parent can build a partnership together that both parties are working towards.

When financial goals are not aligned, resentment can build. Resentment leads to anger. Anger leads to miscommunication and distance in a relationship. These types of patterns is what kills marriages.

So talk to your partner about your savings, investment, and retirement goals before you get married so no one is blindsided. Talk to a lawyer about your legal options for ensuring that your agreements are legally binding.
