One thing I teach that gets tons of criticism is when I tell married couples to combine their finances.

So today I want to share more about how you manage and even maximize your dual income in five simple steps.

And be sure to like, subscribe, share the episode with a friend,

all the things. All right. Let's start with the controversial one. Step one, share a bank account
