Brooklyn Beckham and the long arm of family names His life seemed predestined. What happens when a spouse changes the story?

Famous families don’t give up control easily.

So what happens when a famous son chooses his wife?

I went long on The Beckhams in this week’s The Joint Account.

Set it and forget it What you can automate to make your lives easier.

They say, β€œwork smarter, not harder,” and sure, it sounds cliche. But not if you’re not doing it!

This week’s issue of The Joint Account’s all about the systems, automations, and pre-planning we do to make our lives easier. Spoiler: they’re not all about $$.

Still pinching myself.

Money Together is featured on Audible today. It’ll hit their Well-Being newsletter tomorrow, where it’s safe to say, lots of people will see it πŸ₯Ή

Narrating our audiobook was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

I’m so grateful for our work to be recognized.

I can assure you, I am not taking the β€œwe had it worse” position here, but Gen Z’s viral romanticism of the millennial aughts is wildly off base.

Gratitude's the attitude How to frame your year together around what's gone right.

I’ve had my mind on gratitude this week.

We gain so much perspective from framing things a different way.

In this week’s issue of The Joint Account, I pose some questions framed around all you’ve done RIGHT this year. Cause all could use some wins.

As the holidays approach, allow me to be the first to tell you that if your wife seems mad about hosting, she’s not.

She’s mad you just get to show up.

A full fridge is a privilege Here's 9 ways to empty yours and waste as little food as possible.

Do you eat your leftovers?

Over on the gram, I started my Sad Girl Lunch initiative not just to promote sustainability, but to normalize that most of our meals at home aren’t beautiful.

But it’s a much greater feat to avoid waste than take a photo.

Money Together, our new book, enters the world today.

It’s also the 100th post in The Joint Account, which I swear to you, was an unplanned surprise.

So in the spirit of milestones and the importance of communication, @dougboneparth.bsky.social and I asked each other some questions. Enjoy. πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

PODCASTERS: We’ve been on the circuit recording before our new book, Money Together, launches next week 🀩.

We’ve got the finance crowd covered.

But what about the love, family, parenting, and relationships spaces?

We belong there, too!

The most successful couples never let these 5 money mistakes ruin their relationship, says expert "You can love each other deeply and still allow money to erode your relationship if you're talking about the wrong issues, or not talking at all," writes money expert Heather Boneparth.

Your girl’s article was β€œabove the fold” in yesterday’s CNBC Make It newsletter!

And by above the fold, I mean, Jim Cramer lol.

No but really, I am so freaking grateful for all the love Money Together is receiving already.

10/28’s the day! Have you preordered yet?

Praise from colleagues is nice, but as an author, nothing feels more meaningful than hearing from those whose stories you were privileged enough to share.

This is starting to happen, and I am beside myself with humility and gratitude. Wow.

People keep asking us what β€œfair” means in the context of relationships.

Well, it looks something like this.

(He REALLY wanted to be a Saja Boy. I waddled around all night in a 20 lb wig and latex shorts better suited for a fictional K-Pop star. Because I love him.)
