Investing as a Couple

If I had a dime for every article on personal financial issues for couples (married or otherwise), I would be rich. This article shows an example of a newlywed couple determining how to invest $20,000 previously not in a diversified portfolio.

The article cites MSN’s previous articles on finance for couples. Romance can wait; first, talk cold, hard cash identifies the problems couples have when they’re not thinking along the same lines financially. The second article cited isn’t too different from the first.
