In This Month’s Financial Column: The Story Behind Our Money Habits


April 2026

Money Habits - The Savers and the Spenders

This month’s financial column explores something I see often in both individuals and couples: why we all handle money so differently. If you’ve ever felt tension around spending vs. saving (especially with a partner), or wondered why certain financial decisions feel easy to you but stressful to someone else, this article is for you.

Through a simple, real-life lens, I walk through:

  • Why “savers” and “spenders” often develop from the same underlying fear
  • How early experiences shape the way we view money today
  • Why these differences show up so often in relationships
  • A small mindset shift that can reduce stress and improve financial decisions

You'll find the financial column on page 49 of this month's issue. If this topic resonates, I hope you’ll click through and give it a read, and feel free to share it with someone who might benefit from it.

See you next month!

In this month's article, I discuss why it's worth taking a few minutes each year to review your homeowners, auto, health, disability, life, and umbrella insurance policies. A simple review can help identify coverage gaps, ensure your...

Clock with pricetag

June 2026 June Newsletter This month’s financial column tackles a habit that shows up often in financial plans I review: putting off financial decisions that don’t feel urgent in the moment. It’s rarely a single big choice that creates long-term financial strain. More often, it’s a series of small, delayed decisions, things that feel easy to push into “later” because nothing bad is happening right now. In this article, I walk through a different way to think about those delays, and why...

College Decision Sign

May 2026 Should I Pay for My Kid's College? This month’s financial column tackles a question I hear often from parents: Should I pay for my child’s college? For many, this doesn’t start as a clear decision, it starts as an assumption. Something parents feel they’re supposed to do, without fully thinking through the financial and long-term impact. In this article, I walk through a different way to approach the conversation, one that focuses not just on affordability, but on values,...
