Jean Chatzky: 我注意到很多夫妻因为金钱问题争吵,这与他们理想中的富足生活方式不符。有效的沟通能够避免很多不必要的痛苦,虽然关于金钱的对话不容易,但它们能够增进夫妻间的亲密关系,因为最终谈论金钱就是在谈论你们共同构建的生活。 Ramit Sethi: 美国人对金钱既爱又恨,渴望财富却不愿意谈论和管理金钱。人们对金钱的讨论往往避而不谈,直到出现问题才开始争吵。将快乐与金钱联系起来,才能改变人们对金钱的负面态度。大多数人只关注当下的财务状况,缺乏长远规划,并且被金融行业的术语所迷惑。理财是一项技能,需要学习和掌握,才能获得财务自由和富足的生活。夫妻应该进行积极的财务对话,建立共同的财务目标和愿景。积极的财务对话应该包括四个步骤:分享愿望、表达感受、描述理想状态以及约定下次谈话时间。在建立积极的财务对话之后,夫妻需要共同规划他们的富足生活。大多数夫妻缺乏对富足生活的清晰规划,夫妻可以拥有各自的消费偏好,但需要共同的财务愿景。财务规划中的浪漫在于对未来美好生活的憧憬,任何对个人有意义的财务目标都值得追求。 关注关键的财务数据,而非琐碎的细节。四个关键的财务数字是:固定成本、投资、储蓄和无负罪感消费。根据个人富足生活的定义调整消费比例,401k 缴款应计入投资部分。财务规划重在简单易行,而非追求精确。定期财务沟通并非约会,而是为了维护夫妻关系。定期检查财务状况,确保实际支出与富足生活愿景相符。定期调整财务规划,以确保与生活目标保持一致。住房和汽车是人们最容易超支的两大领域,外出就餐的实际花费往往远超预期。 了解夫妻双方的金钱类型,有助于理解彼此的财务行为和习惯。个人的金钱观受成长环境和周围人的影响。“规避型”是常见的金钱类型,他们通过各种方法避免处理财务问题。帮助“规避型”改变的关键在于设定清晰的期望,并给予他们一定的财务责任。“优化型”善于理财,但可能过于节俭,忽略享受生活。与“优化型”相处,需要肯定他们的努力,并鼓励他们享受生活。“焦虑型”总是担心钱不够用,即使他们已经拥有足够的财富。帮助“焦虑型”克服金钱焦虑,需要了解他们的成长经历,并掌握基本的理财知识。“梦想型”总是期待一夜暴富,不切实际。夫妻双方都应该参与财务管理,避免一人包办。临近退休的夫妻也需要进行积极的财务对话,共同规划退休生活。临近退休的夫妻应该评估当前财务状况,并共同规划未来的生活方式。
