Today's tip:
To your benefit


Here are some financial tips for couples:
-- Get organized: Gather all important financially related documents to a central location that is equally accessible to both partners.
-- Track your spending and pay yourself first: Write down where you are spending your money. Re-route some of your spending to a savings account, and pay yourself first for a secure financial future.
-- Build an emergency fund: You never know when you will need additional cash so try to have two to three months of living expenses in a readily accessible savings account or money market account.
