#11 - Marriage and Finances Part 1

Peter breaks down his and Becca's financial story for the first 5.5 years of their marriage. Divorce rates are greatly increased when financial stress sticks in the marriage. Getting on the same page and staying on the same will pay you back many times over. The Dave Ramsey Show was not a sponsor of this episode even though they take a huge part of the credit for the system that was worked throughout our marriage. Thanks Dave. Enjoy!
