Make sure the person you choose can answer questions about taxes, investments and family budgeting. Get someone to look at where you stand financially, what your goals are and how you can get to where you need to be. If you re still wondering how you will finance the wedding and honeymoon, that s okay. And any time you have a question, don t hesitate to ask you shouldn t feel obligated in any way. If there just isn t enough cash left over at the end of the month, don t be embarrassed to talk about it.
Most young couples feel like they can t make ends meet.
You and your advisor should explore your money management options and investment opportunities regardless of your situation. The first thing you should have is a checking account. Ask about a NOW account, which pays you interest without monthly fees and minimum balance requirements. But instead of sending it right away, hang onto it, then mail it five days before it s due. In the meantime, your money accrues interest in the account.
