Matrimoney

It's our end-of-year episode in which we celebrate the holidays by (how else?) discussing the financial implications of gift giving. We also discuss our differing reasons for buying the gifts we do and we offer up some giving ideas that don't contribute to the build-up of stuff in people's lives.

Holy cow has it been some time since we last posted an episode. Sincere apologies all around; life and a bad back have slowed us down. But we're back with episode 50, in which we spend a bunch of time discussing the all-important question of how to make, and sustain, happiness. We run through a great list of ideas and consider their implications. We also catch you up on our finances, Chris's purchase of a new iPhone using drug money (I kid...there's no need to alert law enforcement), and other fun things. Finally, in Love Notes, we show some gratitude for all the little ways we've been keeping each other afloat in busy times.

In this episode, Chris turns 40! Then he gets his wrist slapped. And rightfully so as we discuss last month's unfortunately exorbitant 'entertainment spending.' But we cover the good stuff, too, like how we've finally achieved one of our minor goals of saving almost all of Kelsey's paycheck. Lastly, we answer a listener question on where best to put savings, a Fidelity account set up by one's parents, or a Vanguard Index Fund.

This episode is all about the little things. We talk through the many small ways we've cut costs, created efficiencies, and otherwise streamlined, in-sourced, and life-hacked our way to a happier, simpler life.

On this episode, we share a bit of good news after a run of unlikely and unexpected expenses. Chris talks middle-age heartburn and Kelsey chats about books she's been devouring recently. We also cover our new-found love of Costco, Chris's hair-cutting prowess, and our favorite back-to-the-basics financial tool, the good ole' budget.

We're back after our summer hiatus, and a lot has happened! We catch you up on the financial ups and downs of the past few months, we discuss an interesting new article on clutter and stress, and we share some love notes.

In this episode, we talk about simplifying, saving money, hitting our healthy stride, and sewing. We also mention that we'll be taking a summer break to focus, retool the show, and come back this fall with a new and improved Matrimoney!

On this episode, we overcome insane allergies (thanks global warming) to talk all things health. We cover what we think of as health (it's comprehensive), how we support our own health and that of our family, and what we spend on health-related stuff. Show notes at www.loveandmatrimoney.com.

We're celebrating a big milestone that kicks off a discussion about RETIREMENT. We cover how we're saving for retirement, the ways that we're already adjusting to a retirement lifestyle and how we're trying to anticipate threats to our retirement.

We share a real-time finances snap shot and tell you what we have in our bank accounts right now. Plus discuss the concept of spherical living and how we'd like to shrink our sphere.
