The Smart Stepfamily Guide to Financial Planning
Money Management Before and After You Blend a Family
About this book
Named #1 Best Estate Planning Book of All Time by BookAuthority
Take Control of Your Blended Family Finances
Money issues are a frequent source of conflict in any marriage. But blended families are a monetary minefield. Debts, bills, and child support payments from previous relationships often influence the finances of a blended family. And planning for college expenses, retirement, and inheritance gets even more complicated in stepfamilies.
However, proper blended family money management can make money an asset to your relationships rather than a liability. The authors use over fifty years of combined financial planning and blended family educational experience to help you merge your current financial realities and family, and protect your marriage while doing so.
Get real-world financial advice specific to unique blended family matters so you can provide for your family both now and in the future.
