There are many components that influence the decisions you make in your relationship–culture, health issues, employment, children, to name a few. Money is only a microcosm of your life and of your relationship. When you learn, practice and master these skills, you will be able to manage your money better, and co-create your financial fitness to build wealth.

You will have more than enough money when you believe you will; when you take the appropriate actions that positively express your belief; and when you realize that you can be wealthy no matter how much money you earn, save, spend or invest because you are more than your money, and more than your money can buy.
