“Family money meeting” sounds like something that requires:
- spreadsheets
- strong coffee
- and emotional stamina
It doesn’t have to.
Family Money Meeting – Why Money Meetings Matter
Because money decisions don’t live in spreadsheets.
They live in daily life.
And if you don’t talk about them, they drift.
Family Money Meeting – Keep It Simple
You only need 15–20 minutes.
That’s it.
Family Money Meeting – What to Cover
- What we spent this week
- What’s coming up
- Any problems or surprises
- One small adjustment
That’s the whole meeting.
