Who Is The CFO In Your Marriage?

Do you know where your money is? Do you know what you own, what you owe, and how to access it if everything changed tomorrow? In this episode, we get into one of the most important (and most avoided) conversations in marriage: finances. Who is the CFO? Who pays the bills? Do you have a spending limit? And if your spouse passed away tomorrow, or the marriage ended, would you know where to start? We share how we each structure things, the stories we have never told, and the fire drill every couple needs to run, because no matter how much you trust your partner, knowing your own financial picture is not optional. 00:00 Welcome back and microneedling updates 03:45 Introducing today's topic: Who is the CFO? 05:30 How DeAnna structures her finances — the hybrid model 08:00 Cristie's structure — and what Kenny's parents taught them 10:48 The Knockbox and creating a living financial document 13:00 Cristie's first marriage and balancing the checkbook together 14:49 Spending limits — do you have one? 17:08 The Lego wall and the purchase nobody talked about 19:25 When the number finally came out — and Kenny's double take 20:51 The real risk of financial blind spots in a marriage 22:08 Financial control as a red flag — and why every woman needs to know 23:00 The fire drill conversation every couple needs to have 🎙️ Pieces of a Woman is hosted by Cristie North and DeAnna Robbins. 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes every two weeks. 📲 Instagram:   / piecesofawomann   🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast... #PiecesOfAWomanPodcast #PiecesOfAWoman #MoneyAndMarriage #WomenAndFinance #FinancialIndependence #KnowYourNumbers #MarriageAndMoney #WomenInMidlife #CFOOfYourMarriage #FinancialPlanning #WomenAndWealth #ProtectYourself #MidlifeConversations
