Elle Martinez is the creator and host of the award-winning site Couple Money, where she is focused on helping spouses come together with their finances. Each week she interviews financial experts and real-life couples who've achieved impressive financial goals like becoming debt free, starting a business, and retiring early. She's also contributed to a number of major media platforms, including Business Insider, TurboTax, Entrepreneur, and Lending Tree.

She expands upon this work in her book, Jumpstart Your Marriage & Your Money: A 4-Week Guide to Building Wealth Together. In it, she shares her plan to help couples stop worrying about money and start building wealth in a warm, humorous, and easy-to-understand voice.

Today, Elle joins the podcast to talk about the challenges couples face when it comes to money, and especially when they're transitioning into retirement. We talk about how couples can have more effective conversations about their finances, how to deal with financial infidelity and sabotage, and how to work with a financial advisor to build a budget that both spouses will love.
