How to Afford a Husband or any other live-in lover

Financial planner and blogger Justine Davies tackles everything you could possibly need to know about living in financial harmony with the one you love in her practical new book How to Afford a Husband.

Finding a soul-mate is one thing- love, laughter and great times!- but getting joinded at the hip pocket- stress, rows, resentment!- can be another. "Opposites attracts" the saying goes, and along with different opinions on food, television programs and hobbies, couples can also have quite different attitudes towards money. No wonder finances are on the main reasons for relationship conflict.

But in How to Afford a Husband... or any other live-in love Justine Davies shows couples how they can avoid all the usual money traps and arguments. This new book will not only help people to run their day-to-day finances more successfully, but enable them to make 'big picture' financial decisions with confidence. It includes advice for couples on:
Setting goals and working together
Budgeting, saving and debt strategies
Insurance, investing and estate planning
Buying a house, setting up a business and staring a family.

"Over the cooler months of the year, you should prepare a light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction." - The Good Wife's Guide.

With humorous anecdotes throughout, in addition to sound advice, How to Afford a Husband is an engaging must-read for anyone considering joint finances, leaving couples in better shape to enjoy the more exciting aspects of their relationship!
