On this podcast we discuss money and marriage and the overall need for women to pay attention and understand what is transpiring around the family finances.  Cary Carbonaro is an MBA and CFP and has over 30 years in financial services. She has been in dozens of Newspapers, magazines and TV programs related to personal finance. She is a lifelong advocate for woman. She is described as a girls, girl, founding President of a sorority in college and believes in education and equality. In her book,The Money Queen's Guide: For Women Who Want to Build Wealth and Banish Fear she talks about the fear of being a bag lady and the difficulties she faced in her own marriage around money.  We discuss all of this in this podcast hoping to help women see the importance of discussing money with your partner and paying attention to the financial decisions you make together. As women, we all have a unique relationship with money. We strive for financial security to support our family, ensure we can retire comfortably, create independence separate from our partners, and along the way, as Cary will tell you, buy some nice purses. As much as we are motivated to make money, we often do not consider the crucial relationship between what we do today and how it WILL impact our life tomorrow.
