How Can You Get Your Spouse To Support You In Your Financial Freedom?

…this is Mey here with a very important question – How Can You Get Your Spouse To Support You In Your Financial Freedom?

…I’m going to tell you first hand, it is not always easy…

…sure, of course they want you to be financially free, and themselves as well, however, they also want you to take care of the kids, do the housework, work a full time job and so on…

…sometimes they are tired as well with their job and they don’t feel like supporting you because they don’t have the energy…

…so what do you do?

Getting Support From Your Spouse For Financial Freedom

1) You must be absolutely burned-all-your-bridges DETERMINED to get your goal of financial freedom – if you are even slightly hesitant then your spouse will feel it and they will not think you are serious…

2) Keep your spouse up to date on your progress, and let him know what you need support with and ask him to help you find solutions.  Agree to work on the solutions together.

3) Forgive and learn from past errors or any mis-communications that you may have with your spouse…they will happen and just do your best and let them go.

4) Sometimes your spouse may just not be in a good mood and will work to sabotage you either intentionally and unintentionally, and all you can do is stand your ground until it passes.  They have their own stuff to work through just like you, there is all kinds of resistance that people have to becoming Financially Free…as long as you hold strong then they will come around again and support you more…it all depends in the end on your resolve…

5) Be sure that on your quest for financial freedom, you share the rewards and celebrations with your spouse, go on regular dates and vacations with your spouse, and continue spending time loving them and showing them how much you appreciate their love and support!

  2. Meylysa,

    I am grateful that you are resolved in your commitment to being financially free and I will continue to support that vision for us and our family. Thank you for being a great example and it is very inspiring. I share this message many times with other individuals because it is absolutely true. Having support from your spouse is crucial in being successful and feeling supported makes the journey that much rewarding

  3. These tips are spot on Meylysa! So true that sometimes it’s just not for them. They aren’t in the same place as you and have some work to do. This is why it’s so important to share your vision with them and hopefully they will come around and support you and join in on the vision so you can build together but either way, it’s good to be loving and stay committed to the relationship if at all possible. Thank you for sharing such wisdom to help others. Love it! 🙂

    1. Thanks Brian and Felicia for the thoughtful comment! Sometimes they want to vision, just not the work involved ; )
