A question from a reader we will call "George" last week went something like this: What do you do when you have too much money? In cash. It was a question he faced personally but had not considered it until seeing that he was not alone according to this Wall Street Journal story last week.
It's Giving Tuesday. The appeals have already been showing up in your email inbox, your voicemails and the radio. You know this is a joyful act, in theory. But instead, you might be overwhelmed and finding it difficult to have insight into the bigger picture of your money or your time.
Is there such thing as enough money? Is it important to think about what that would be for ourselves? Last weekend I found myself immersed in a group of people at various stages of defining and living out such a notion and think many are worthy of passing along.
I get a lot of questions from folks about how couples should manage their money. Is it best to have both people involved in everything or to divide and conquer on investing and budgeting? Should you combine finances or keep them separate? My answer? Yes. Every couple will have an answer unique to them and what will work best.
