Getting married?

This the perfect opportunity to create a new financial reality where you really connect about money as a couple and where you learn to share and understand each other’s financial needs and dreams.

Are you a couple who would love to:

  • Be equal partners on money matters. (No matter who earns more or knows more)

  • Understand your own and your partner’s financial personality and financial needs

  • Create a safe space for an open money conversation in your relationship

  • Budget, plan invest or get out of debt – Together

If you answered yes to any of these, buy this online course today. 


You have a dream of a great marriage and of being true partners. In the background money is a huge part of that dream, not how much money you have, because more doesn't necessarily  mean you are happier, but the ability to work, plan and spend together to make the dream work does affect your quality of life.  Don’t fall into patterns that too many couples fall into, of being financially oblivious. Avoid feeling nervous constantly because your financial needs aren’t met, mostly because you didn’t know you had them. Don't get so busy with the day-to-day that you don't know what's going on with your finances and haven’t had an open money conversation for so many years you don’t know where to start.

While we originally created the course for couples who are engaged or just married, the feedback we got was that we MUST "share this with everyone." So we are...

If you want to dream, discuss and plan financially together and use your money to live a life that you value, start this course today!

I learned a lot about myself and my attitudes, and where my money values and attitudes and fears mesh well or don't mesh well with my husband's. That way we can plan around those murky areas and try to get as many needs met as possible. I want to feel free, and he wants to have it all planned out three months in advance. This comes up in other areas, and in the money area as well. Now that we know, and it is "on the table" we have a frame of reference for making money decisions. Thank you Rifka!

I didnt know most of this information growing up. Rifka outlines it in a clear way that makes it less scary to talk about money. She makes the budgeting, debt, and investing sound less overwhelming. I am definitely giving this course as a wedding present from now on!

In the first chapter we discuss how it is not about money. So what is it really about? Its about your values, living a life of what you value, having money to spend on what is important to you, if you can align your values and your money with a positive and kind attitude you will find that sweet spot of a financially smarter life.

You have the opportunity to give yourself or someone you know this as a  gift. Priced at  $180 this course should be a must have for all couples starting out.
