Photos by Eric Pierce Balancing Love and Money: Tips for Financial Success in Your Relationship Nonprofit credit counseling agency Take Charge America offers eight tips for peace in finances – and relationships PHOENIX – (Feb. 7, 2017) – Money problems can wreak havoc on relationships, especially for couples with vastly different upbringings or clashing spending habits. A Citibank survey recently revealed 57 percent of divorced couples cited financial issues as the reason for ending the relationship. The good news is that a few simple strategies can help resolve money conflicts. “Many people enter relationships without discussing their attitudes toward money,” said Mike Sullivan, a personal finance consultant with Take Charge America, a national nonprofit credit counseling and debt management agency. “It’s not particularly fun or romantic, but open and honest communication about finances will go a long way in fostering a happy, healthy relationship.” Sullivan offers eight tips for couples seeking financial bliss: Honesty. Before committing to a relationship, commit to being honest about your finances, even if it requires a difficult conversation with your significant other. Don’t hide purchases, keep secret credit cards or cover up your debt. Financial philosophies. One of you may have dined with a silver spoon, while the other always scrimped and saved. Talk through your attitudes toward money, and establish mutual ground rules for areas that could present problems. Combining finances. Decide together if it’s best to combine your finances or keep your money separate.

  • WWE: Five Burning Questions for Smackdown Heading Into Wrestlemaina 33 After the Elimination Chamber
    WWE: Five Burning Questions for Smackdown heading into Wrestlemaina 33 after the Elimination Chamber Author : We just came off the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event for the Smackdown brand. On Sunday night, we saw American Alphas retain their tag team titles in a tag team turmoil match, Naomi and Bray Wyatt both won their first singles title in their WWE careers, and Randy Orton had a match of the night against Luke Harper. However, since all of that was said Smackdown now has no events until Wrestlemania. In all honesty, the next event is Fastlane for the RAW brand, which happens in the beginning of March. So after watching the show on the WWE network, I have compiled a list of questions that I feel Smackdown needs to answer over the next seven weeks leading into Wrestlemania. [Jon] Here are some questions that the blue brand needs to answer prior to Wrestlemania: 1- What do you do with American Alpha? On Sunday night, we saw Jason Jordan and Chad Gable retain their titles over the Usos, the Ascension, Slater & Rhyno, Breezeango, and the Vaudevillians. The Hype Bros were not included in this match as Zack Ryder is nursing an injury and Mojo had a match on the preshow. Since there is no viable opponent for American 1 / 3 Alpha leading into Wrestlemania, I say WWE needs to call up the Revival to the main roster. They are due to get a call-up to the main roster and the Smackdown tag team division needs a dominant heel team. I will not put the Ascension, Breezeango, or the Usos as they have all done badly in recent time.
