Finding the Best Money System as a Couple with HoneyFi

September 8, 2017 By Elle Leave a Comment

Looking to stay on top of your money together without a complicated system? Learn how you can win with money and how HoneyFi can help you dump your debt and build wealth together!

[smart_track_player url=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/couplemoney/Finding_the_Best_Money_System_as_a_Couple_with_HoneyFi.mp3″ ]

Finding Your Best Money System as a Couple

Ramy Serageldin and Sam Shultz had different ways they were managing their money. You’ll hear in just a bit their systems and how it changed.

Like many couples, they wanted something simple.

But unlike most of us, Ramy, Sam, and their partner Joe Stanish decided to do something about it.

I met them last year in San Diego about an idea they were working on and now it’s an app.

These three co-founded and publically released HoneyFi last month- a new money app designed for couples.

I don’t usually do profiles of FinTech companies, but I thought HoneyFi’s situation was relevant because the app is based on a very real challenge couples have – how do you find a way to manage your money that you’re both happy with?

So I’m grateful that they’re sharing today what worked and hasn’t for them. We’ll talk about few cool features, but more along how you can apply these ideas with your own money chats and dates.

In this episode, we’ll go over:

  • getting started and comfortable about money as a couple
  • setting things up so you still have some fun money
  • working together to reach your shared and personal goals

Hope you enjoy!

Resources to Budget TogetherBudgeting together isn't always easy. Jessi Fearon, author and creator of The Budget Mama, shares her story and tips for how to successfully budget as a couple!

Do you two want to get on the same page with budgets? Here are some helpful resources mentioned in the episode and more.

Finding Balance with Marriage and Entrepreneurship

We’ve had a quite a few shows about being a happily married entrepreneur I’ve been sharing my ups and downs working from home.

I’ve also interviewed couples who are running a business together like Justin and Rebekah Rhodes with Abundant Permaculture, couples who ventured on their own career paths like LaTisha Styles who explained how she and her husband successfully support each other.

And hearing them, you get this sense that’s they’re well-oiled machines. Things working out.

But what about that beginning stage?

How does a side hustle fit in with your current job and your marriage?

In this special episode Millennovator co-founder Will DeShazo and I discuss:

  • how you can start earning some cash while exploring career options

[smart_track_player url=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/couplemoney/Travel_Apps_to_Score_Deals_on_Last_Minute_Getaways.mp3″ ]

Travel Apps and Sites to Bookmark for Your Weekend Getaways

There are more sites than ever for travelers. Besides snagging last minute deals on popular tourist spots, you can also discover some awesome destinations.

  • Airbnb: If you want to live like a local, Airbnb can help you find a bed or whole house for your next trip. We used the site when we went away for an anniversary trip and had a beautiful riverfront apt in Wilmington, NC for a fraction of the price of a hotel.
  • Priceline: I’m a huge fan of their Name Your Own Price feature, which has helped us score plane tickets, hotel rooms, and car rental half off the advertised prices.
  • Better Bidding: Speaking of bids, there are forums and sites online that can help you figure out what it will take to your bid accepted.

You might also want to keep an eye for flash deals with airlines like Southwest where you can score huge discounts on flights to select cities.Learn how you can save big on last minute weekend getaways.

Apps to Help Score Great Deals and Keep Organized

With smartphones everywhere, apps have been developed to help travelers. Download these apps to help you get the best deals and explore your destination.

  • Localeur: (iOS only) Locals share some of their favorite spots in 14 major U.S. cities.
  • TripIt: With two kids in tow, I love have one app to handle and organize all of the travel arrangements.
  • Hopper: If you like to double check the deals on flights, Hopper is great. The app analyzes tons of flight prices and can suggest when it’s a good time to purchase ticket.
  • Hipmunk: An all in one solution where you can find last minute deals and book them.

Even though you might not think of it as a travel app per se, GasBuddy can tremendously helpful if you’re taking a road trip.

Thoughts on Weekend Getaways

I’d love to hear your ideas and stories. What has been your favorite getaway destination?

What has been your most recent travel deal you’ve taken? What travel apps are your favorite for planning?

How to Launch Your Business as a Couple

February 13, 2017 By Elle Leave a Comment

Looking to launch a business together? Learn how Nellie Akalp and her husband built their business, eventually sold it for millions, and started another one!

[smart_track_player url=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/couplemoney/How_to_Start_and_Bootstrap_Your_Business_with_CorpNet_Founder_Nellie_Alkap_.mp3″ social=”true” social_twitter=”true” social_facebook=”true” social_gplus=”true” ]

Launch a Business Together

Looking to launch a business together? Learn how Nellie Akalp and her husband built their business, eventually sold it for millions, and started another one!

Launching a business can be stressful. Having a partner can alleviate some of the stress as you’re sharing the load, but what if your partner is also your spouse? Can you find a way to stay happily married and run a business?

Nellie Akalp and her husband have done it not once, but twice. They celebrated their 20th year anniversary with her husband and business partner. The couple started their first business in 1997 with $100 in their small apartment living room. Eight years later that business was acquired by Intuit for $20 million.

Instead of retiring early, they got back into the industry in 2009 with the launch of CorpNet, which they run today helping entrepreneurs.

Nellie is here to chat about marriage and business. We’ll get into:

  • how they launched a business with a single page website
  • working together as entrepreneurs and spouses
  • resources she recommends for those ready to make the leap

Hope you enjoy!
