It's 4 days until D-day for a buddy of mine who's about to tie the noose ... I mean, knot. He's all ready to be part of a married couple, which is more than I can say for a bunch of joes and jills that I've met in my life. I've seen some couples who have about as much chemistry as a physics class. I'm not worried about him and his dame, though ... they're a good match and they're good about saving money.

If you're getting hitched, you need to be the same thing, bub. Just like Dave Ramsey always talks about on his show, the top reason people get divorced in the U.S.A today is money fights and money problems. So if the dough is causing you problems, sit down with your other half and talk about it. Make a budget plan and stick with it. Debt is probably causing you stress, so ditch it with the debt snowball. Work as a team and you'll get ahead, see?
