Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Alyssa Davies
I am the author of The 100 Day Financial Goal Journal and founder of MixedUpMoney, the 2019 Canadian Personal Finance Blog of the Year.
I've been with my husband for ten years and married for four of those years. For us, talking about money is an everyday conversation. At first, we felt weird and uncomfortable each time one of us would bring up finances. Those minor arguments and unproductive discussions helped us quickly realize that we would never achieve financial success together without transparency. This course includes the exact questions we ask and the way we plan for long-term financial goals (to this day).
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What if my partner isn't as into the course as me?
Your partner has every right to feel uncomfortable speaking about finances. Consider all of the ways money can make us think: embarrassed, judged or shameful. In this course, we encourage stopping and taking breaks if you ever feel uncomfortable. It's a slow start, strong finish, for people who are just the same as your partner who might not be ready to jump in with both eyes closed.
What if we've already spoken about money?
Even if you already regularly talk about money, this course can help set a standard way you approach your finances as a team. It will also help you explore new ideas for goal-setting and getting to know each other's money on a deeper level.
We just started dating, are we ready to talk money?
It is never too early to talk about finance in a relationship. The earlier you start, the better. But, keep in mind that some of the longer-term goals might not work for you — yet. This course is best suited to couples who are living together or actively planning their future.
I'm not from Canada. Does this course still work for me?
The content within this course is universal and will work for any couple willing to take the next steps in their financial life together.
How long does this course take?
This virtual workbook is entirely self-paced. I recommend couples only tackle one module in a day, as it can be emotionally exhausting to talk about money, but it's up to you how quickly or slowly you work your way through the course.
How long do I have access to the course?
You will have access to this course for one year.
In that year, if we make any updates to the curriculum, they are all yours for the full 365 days.
What format is the course?
The course is a blend of text, illustrations, printable worksheets, exercises to do as a couple, and videos.
Do you offer refunds?
This course does not accept returns, exchanges or cancellations.
