Message me your 'Takeaways'.

Michael Khouri & Lachlan Stuart unpack how to make money serve your life, not swallow it, with practical ways couples can reduce stress, align goals, and create simple systems that actually stick. Michael shares why outside advice shortens the path, and how to talk about cash without fights or shame.

• common mistakes couples make in their 30s and 40s
• why more income without structure makes things worse

• starting calm money talks and naming money stories
• a simple budget framework and bank buckets
• turning a surplus into debt reduction and investing
• reducing conflict between spenders and savers
• joint vs separate finances and when to merge
