More Secrets to a Successful Marriage

Money Makes the World Go 'Round!
It’s hard to believe that ten years ago today I married my best friend. Not to get all sappy, but I think it’s worked out pretty well! In fact I found some statistics on Wikipedia (if you can trust it!) that say we’re over the hump. I attribute our marital success (hey let’s be honest, it’s not always bliss) to a lot of things I’ve talked about at length before.
As we move along another year I have come to believe one of the most important components to any marriage is always going to be financial. Rounding our 10 year mark has coincided perfectly with the two of us meeting many of our financial goals. It wasn’t easy, but it’s incredibly satisfying. Making decisions and working diligently together to make things happen has brought us even closer. This has given us peace of mind and has made us excited about our next goals.
The Book I’ve Been Waiting For

Your Money: The Missing Manual
In the past weeks, Will and I have found ourselves busy with a variety of things. Will was quite sick for a few weeks but seems to be mostly better now. I have been going haywire trying to finish cutting out all possible medications that I’ve been on since my diagnosis. We’ve been planning out some home improvements that will eventually help sell the house one day, and as a result have been poring over paint samples, hardware ideas, etc. We have been adjusting to changes with the recent Windstream acquisition. We have managed to cut out about a third of our book collection for donation. And last, but not least, I’ve had another MS attack (my 3rd since December of 2008). Not much could jar me from dwelling on all of this to come out for a blog post, but today I realized how close we are to the release of a book I’ve been looking forward to for a long time.
