THE MONEY DOCTOR PRE-MARRIAGE COURSE

- managing your joint finances

A 90 MINUTE SEMINAR with JOHN LOWE – THE MONEY DOCTOR

ONLY € 80 PER COUPLE (includes a signed complimentary copy of the #1 best seller The Money Doctor Finance Annual 2011 published by Gill & Macmillan)

The big day is not far off. You have thought of everything or have you? Do you really know your partner – in particular financially ? What can you do to address this whole area of finance ? This is an opportunity to get your joint finances in order and better manage your money before you start out on the road to happy ever after….Finances can sometimes be the SOLE reason marriages break up – don’t let it be yours ! This 90 minute course will set you both on your way to financial freedom AND happiness.

In an ideal world, one should discuss money with a future partner before making any sort of commitment as this would allow you to check that you are financially compatible. However, we don’t live in an ideal world and so most couples will find themselves tackling financial issues after they have been together for some time. This course is designed to target those areas of future financial conflict and agree a strategy for life on your money issues.

TOPICS COVERED :

·      OPENING A DIALOGUE

The first and most important step for anyone in a relationship is to open a dialogue with their partner. If you don’t communicate, you won’t know what they are thinking, and they won’t know what you are thinking.

·      ANYTHING TO DECLARE?

There are so many tricky areas when it comes to discussing personal finance with your partner, that it is hard to decide which is potentially the most controversial. One subject which never fails to cause problems is that of ‘secret debts’ and ‘secret savings’.

·      BUILDING A JOINT APPROACH TO MONEY

Disagreements about personal finance can be very divisive – I have seen figures that suggest half of the couples who break up do so because of a disagreement about money. So when I say that you need to agree a joint financial strategy with your partner I don’t say it lightly.

·      SHARE OUT THE CHORES

There are certain basic money chores that have to be done and one of the most useful things any couple can do in relation to their personal finances is agree who is going to take on which responsibilities.

·      HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF FINANCIALLY COMPATIBLE

In the pre-marriage course, I give some valuable tips on handling joint finances – whether with your partner or with someone else, such as a flatmate or friend.

Courses every Tuesday at 7.30pm in Dublin – course will also be available in Cork, Limerick, Galway & Mullingar depending on numbers.    Enquiries to Stephanie Cahill (Administration Manager) – Dublin 278 5555 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
