Managing Finances In A Relationship:

Most breakups in a relationship are caused by financial disagreements. From a dating couple to married ones if money issues are not well agreed on, there could be looming trouble. At my pre-marital counseling class, I got a chance to hear different views on how couples manage their finances and realized that it is not a matter of how much money couples have but how they agree on the use of the money.


One of the couples shared their way of dealing with money and this impressed me; they pooled together all their income and sat down each month end to jot down their monthly budget. Each person got some pocket money for personal use thus it did not matter how much one contributed to the pool. But of course this can only work if both parties are open about their income.


Currently with more women being empowered, some couples have found themselves in a relationship where the woman earns more than the man. This can cause a strain on the relationship especially if the woman looks down upon the man or if the man is in denial that he is earning less. It is therefore important that a couple accepts each other as they are and plan for their income as a couple rather than compete on who earns more.

Couples can open a joint account, invest in insurance for the family, buy property, buy shares in the stock market and enjoy the power of pooling funds together.

In case of further problems, couples can also get a financial advisor or a successful couple to emulate.

Achievement - Power And Ability Of A Positive Mind

“Attitude is everything!” This statement carries so much truth that if every one took time to think about it and make necessary adjustment in life, then our lives would change for the better. Many times in our quest for self improvement, we have concentrated on changing and improving many things but our attitude.

Attitude is a person’s frame of mind. It is the mindset that a person has that helps him to develop a world view. Attitude is expressed by how we respond to issues. One person once said, “Life is not what happens to you but how you respond to issues”. Two individuals may encounter a similar negative situation but how they will each respond will determine the outcome.

One of the main attitudes we need to embrace is cultivating a positive mindset or attitude. As you read through history you encounter ordinary individuals who did extra ordinary things. Moses in the Bible was known to stammer in his speech but he became the deliverer. Abraham Lincoln on the other hand educated himself; he had no formal education but became the most acclaimed president in the history of the United States.

Mother Teresa, a simple nun in Calcutta also became an icon through her acts of mercy and philanthropy. The list could go on and on. What characterized these people was a positive mindset, they all believed in possibilities and they responded decisively for the good of humanity.

Regardless of your present status and condition, you can accomplish anything with positive thinking. There is power that is released through positive thinking and once it is released, it will always work for you. Positive thinking acts to enhance your abilities and virtues. Nothing is impossible to him that believes.
