Marriage with Intention

#29: How to Revisit Your Expenses Without the Stress (and Save Hundreds Doing It)


Listen Later

We’ve gone from “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.” to making our money work for us. But, the relationship with our money is an ongoing one that’s so easy to put aside or avoid when life gets busy. 

We’ve been meaning to review our monthly expenses, optimize our subscriptions and who’s paying what… but life keeps moving, and it just hasn’t happened. Until now. 

In this episode, we walk you through the exact process we’re using right now to get more mindful and intentional with our money as a couple. After attending the Rich Girl Era Money Summit In Vancouver, Aman shares what reignited her obsession with personal finance, what she realized was missing (spoiler: a one-pager listing our accounts, logins, and bill breakdowns), and the small changes we’re making that are already saving us hundreds.

We talk about:

  • The $120 subscription shift we made this week (and how we’re tracking renewals now)

  • Why “just calling to negotiate” isn’t always simple and how we made it easier for ourselves   
  • How to stop defaulting to overspending and start aligning with your actual values

  • The mantra Aman picked at the Summit that’s already changed her money habits

  • We’ve gone from turning off the heat to save a few dollars… to paying for a Porsche in cash. But this episode isn’t about extremes. It’s about intention. Teamwork. And looking at the numbers. It's the small shifts that build a life of freedom together.

    Whether you're just starting to get a handle on your finances or you've been tracking every penny for years, this episode will give you real-life strategies (and a nudge of motivation) to get back in the driver’s seat with your partner.
