They say, βwork smarter, not harder,β and sure, it sounds cliche. But not if youβre not doing it!
This weekβs issue of The Joint Accountβs all about the systems, automations, and pre-planning we do to make our lives easier. Spoiler: theyβre not all about $$.

Money Together is featured on Audible today. Itβll hit their Well-Being newsletter tomorrow, where itβs safe to say, lots of people will see it π₯Ή

Not sure who to tip this holiday season (or how much)?
Weβve got you covered. A year ago, we wrote this tip guide for The Joint Account to help you say thank you with thought and without stress.

I can assure you, I am not taking the βwe had it worseβ position here, but Gen Zβs viral romanticism of the millennial aughts is wildly off base.

Iβve had my mind on gratitude this week.
We gain so much perspective from framing things a different way.
In this weekβs issue of The Joint Account, I pose some questions framed around all youβve done RIGHT this year. Cause all could use some wins.

All I am saying is, what better time to have @dougboneparth.bsky.social and I share our thoughts (in print, online, in studio!) on HOW TO NOT RUIN THE HOLIDAYS BY FIGHTING WITH YOUR SPOUSE ABOUT MONEY???
Iβm serious. Use us: domoneytogether[at]gmail[dot]com.

Itβs 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. πππ
Sorry, kids. Halloween is cancelled.

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.
