Sex and Money

Sex and money are the two subjects everyone NEEDS to talk openly about but no one does.  With my clients I see how connected money and sex are for couples.  When money is tight and financial goals aren’t being met, the “slap and tickle” suffers.  On the other side, when things are going well and finances and careers are firing on all cylinders, it’s a hump fest.  Sex is great for exercise, releases stress and creates stronger bonds as a couple.  A bond and partnership that will get you both working for even more financial success!

Here is a quick road map to get way more bucks and bed bumpin’. 🙂

1. Sit down with your partner and design your ultimate life.  That could include a baby, cottages, paying down debt, trips, preferred careers, intimacy levels, more schooling, etc.  Throw everything out on the table and design your new life from the bottom up. Write all of your goals down in order of priority and both sign the bottom of the page.  This is your new financial contract!

2. Now talk about your ideal sexual and emotional relationship.  It could include a walk before bed, special dinners out, foot rub Fridays, what ever would be awesome.  When designing both of these lists make sure that you drop the negative criticism.  This is HUGE! Talk about building a new relationship in a positive way and leave the baggage behind.  Say what you WANT from your partner hot what you don’t want.  Write all of your relationship goals down and both sign the bottom of the contract.  Now you have two.

3. Look at your finances and make your plan to make this all happen!  Sit together and write down all your debts, your assets and then think about where you need to go.  Use a financial coach or financial planner to help consolidate all you debts and commit to paying them back as soon as possible.  Pay back your mortgage while rates are cheap!  Get proper insurance to secure each others future and fund your retirements.  Make a plan to start contributing to all of your goals like babies, cottages, etc.

4. Meet as often as possible to make sure that you are both staying on track.  Pull out both contracts and encourage each other to do better in achieving all of your goals.  By having more sex and achieving your financial goals one after another you’ll snowball into more successes!  Sex and money work together.  They can either hinder or help.  And the later is just so much more fun so get humpin’.

Have a wonderful wallet and wiener week,

Dave
