36: We hired a financial planner. Should you? Part 2 | How to improve your finances without a financial planner or professional


In 2017, Damian and I started our journey to figure out our finances as a couple. We had been married for 2 years at that point and we were ready to strategize.

We did research, we made a plan, and then we implemented that plan.

This week we share the intimate details of what we did to figure out our finances. These are the steps we took before we hired a financial planner. These are the steps that put us on the path to financial independence. Do you want to fully understand and make a plan for your money?
