**********

Segment I: The Past

"With money, the past does predict the prospective. Understanding each others' money histories let's you build empathy for each other and identify experiences that impacted your outlook connected money."

#1. What's your first money memory?

Probably going to cubic yard gross revenue with my mom and hard to see how much I can get for a dollar (her dollar) ;) In fact, just this weekend she was tattle me how easy it was for me to spend money healthy up, but the second she had me spend my *own*, completely of a sudden I couldn't find anything I wanted, haha… Sounds about right!

#2. Did you know how so much your parents earned when you were a youngster?

Nope – had no idea. I remember thought process we must be pretty poor though as I wasn't ever allowed to get Nike Flying Jordans the likes of all my friends had… It was Payless, and Payless only, for us kids growing up – the worst!

#3. Did your family have a budget? How did you finger approximately IT?

They 100% had a budget. Credibly 10 of them! I ne'er knew what was on them, or how much they allotted in to each one section, but being on a single expeditionary pay for our family of 5 they def. had to stretch their dollars far. Something I could appreciate untold Thomas More these days, but certainly not back then (see: Nike Aerial Jordans)

#4. Did you get an allowance equally a tyke? What did you do with it?

Yup! $1.00 a workweek for yearrrrrrs – also the worst! Haha… Though it did sneak up to $2.00/week eventually until we were able to go out and earn money on our own (in which we were then break off). I fagged it altogether on baseball cards and sledding to the movies/bowling/center/etc back in the day with friends.

In one case I tried saving up for a Nintendo Game Boy, but after winning just about a billion months to reach it I no more longed-for to spend the money anymore because it took forever to save! And it was at that point when I completed the true time value of a dollar, but also that I was actually *able* to save up such if I really tried hard enough. I'd like to say that was the turning point of my finances, but sadly it took another decade or so to really catch happening ;)

#5. Did your parents fight about money?

Nope. I Don River't call back a unvarying meter they ever fought, although I'm sure they did every so often behind closed doors (they were great at not bickering in front of us). Future I found out my pop had a separate stash that he was allowed to use on any he wanted to help keep the peace between them, haha… He cherished pin money on more quality place/electronics/etc, whereas my mamma was mainly concerned about the price mark :) This has since been unrivaled of my favorite tips to tell people, and one I implemented myself when first starting out in our marriage.

#6. What money habits did your parents practice? How did you feel most those habits?

They were/are SUPER frugal, one of these days allowing them to retire early'ish patc withal living happy comfortable lives. My mammy will actually fete her 3rd class existence retired this come apart, and the basis for it was all that frugality over the years! Think back our one-along-unitary interview with her the twenty-four hours she retired? –> The Last Day My Mom Will Ever Work :) I didn't like the frugalness back then (unusual than leaving to yard gross revenue and thrift stores every last the clip – fantastic fun!), only simply like everything other I now "get it" and fully appreciate it.

Surgical incision II: The Present

"The future is about understanding how your money past has manifested itself today. It's about understanding why you make the decisions you do and less about determination each others balance sheets (though you're receive to share those if you're ready)."

#7. What drives your financial decisions?

Freedom…. from being forced to do stuff I don't neediness to do. Also security for my family, especially now that we have three precious kids :)

#8. If you won $1 trillion today, what would you do with the money?

Get under one's skin ready for the most deadening response ever! Pay taxes on that and then throw the rest into investments (VTSAX), haha… In other words, it literally wouldn't deepen a matter :) Unusual than ambitious us into commercial enterprise freedom which naturally would be more than pleasing. Had you asked my 21 twelvemonth longtime soul this question, however, you would have gotten a much more juicier respond :)

#9. What's one money-use that you admire about Maine? (I.e. your significant other)

That she doesn't need to spend money to exist happy. Completely she cares about is that we're all safe and healthy and that we never have to worry about money in our lives. I have to cue her that we'ray doing just o.k. and to actually spend some on herself every so often, but by and puffy she'd glucinium happy if she never had to think nearly money in her biography in the least… Which whole kit well since I love talking and thinking about it! :)

#10. If I (your domestic partner) lost $100 on something and didn't tell you, would you be upset with me? How about $1,000?

My wife wouldn't be healthy to hide it as it would piss her off right smart likewise much to not let it show, haha, only if she did hide $100 it probably wouldn't bother me at all. $1,000 but then would, non in losing the money itself, but because I'd think she was up to something fishy! And it would break our rule of having to talk the purchase over since we usually do so for things that are $100 and up.

#11. What scares you about money?

Losing it all! In some freak wellness issue or legal troubles or something… A problem that's only of late crept in since really *having* money, haha… Now the plus side is that we'd equal able to bring in it all spinal column complete time since we instantly know what we're doing, but it would still suck to own to start back from inscribe over again, especially now that I'm out of Hustle Musical mode and into Daddy Musical mode. So fingers interbred this never happens to some of us!

#12. What do you wish you knew more about?

Estate planning. Only after posting about it hold out week, we'rhenium already on our way to reason more! Y'all passed over a long ton of great stuff to look over (and many healthy tough be intimate as well!), and at once we've begun the appendage of determination the suitable person to workplace with and getting this puppy started… I'm not any Sir Thomas More excited about any of information technology, but it's emphatically helped speaking nigh it outer thundery for sure :) Sol thanks!

#13. What would it take for you to smel happy about money?

Already there baby, woo! Retributive get Maine to VA now and I will cost fully content!

#14. What does having money mean to you?

I'll go with "freedom" again along this one. Without money your options are minimal, but with money they elaborate like crazy! Whether with jobs, desires, hobbies, lifestyles, etc. You don't need to activate wholly the options, but just knowing that you HAVE THEM is an awing feeling in itself.

#15. What are you comfortable telling about your money? Any debts that are important to know?

Haha… it's all laid out there for the world to see already – nothing hiding with this guy's wallet! ;)

#16. What are you functional towards? What dreams do you take (1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years)?

Financial Freedom – i.e. having enough money to non have to work any longer if either of us choose non to!

1 year dream: move back to my beloved Virginia!
5 year dream: hit financial freedom
10 twelvemonth dream up: haven't persuasion that far?
20 year dreaming: unquestionably oasis't thought that far :)

#17. What do you want to leave behind (for kids Oregon others)?

This is something I think about on a unit of time basis. I of path want my sept to cost comfortable once I'm long gone and Teach them everything I know to glucinium of importance, but the whole *legacy* stuff in a larger, broader sense, I sustain yet to pose my thumb connected… I feel like I have the potential to cause a much greater impact than I'm doing right now, but what *exactly* that is I'm still happening the William Holman Hunt for. Information technology's like having a car full of gas but just sitting there revving the engine waiting to find the commission to go in! So for immediately I just proceed doing my affair and trying to be the trump daddy and blogger I can be, and then hopefully one time the epiphany hits I can slam my foot down on that pedal point and GO :)

#18. Do you expect to get whatever inheritance from your phratr?

Atomic number 102 – I don't ever expect anything in life, thusly when ever/if ever that daytime comes I'll just handle it from there. You already know what I'll DO with any extra money that comes my way anyways, haha… I always have a plan for money, but I never programme on acquiring any! (Date what I did there??)

#19. What would you privation to find to your money if you died?

To pop off to my wife, then Down to my kids. Then for my wife to prepay my hosting/realm services for 100 years so this blog continues to live along without me :)

#20. Do you expect to backup your parents or opposite loved ones in the future day?

Never thought virtually before?! I guess I never expect anything to materialise similar to the heritage question, but I'd def. parachuting in and help however I can if that unfortunate day ever did come… I put-o about moving back in with my parents unmatched day to lay aside money, but perhaps one day they'll in reality beryllium moving in with us? Which is fine American Samoa far Eastern Samoa I'm concerned, after all they MADE ME and brought Maine into this world!! Haha… It's the to the lowest degree I can do!
