I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for TCF Bank. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.
Money seems to be a root problem in many relationships; Many of us go into a marriage not knowing anything about our partners financial state, let alone their mindset when it comes to money. Some of us save like were retiring tomorrow, and others don’t give a thought about tomorrow. When it comes to financial smarts, it goes beyond piggy banks and balancing checkbooks. It’s understanding the difference between “needs” and “wants” and how to pay for them; and specifics we all might not think about on a daily basis: How could my credit score today affect my opportunities over the next few years? And what can I do about it?

My financial animal is the coyote:
I’m a Coyote. I’m a crafty scavenger, always on the hunt for a bargain. My ideal day is spent digging in the couch cushions for spare change, clipping coupons and scouring the web for promo codes. It can be a lot of work, but it’s totally worth it for the sense of accomplishment I feel after scoring a killer deal.

I am also a Coyote. I am always looking for a deal and constantly doing what I call creative financing. :-)

I'd like to control the impulse spending, especially when it comes to my child. He doesn't seem to ask for much, at least not expensive things, but they sure seem to add up at the end of the month.
Or going out to eat.
I'd like our outlook to be that we have the bills covered, money for fun, and starting to save for the future.
