The article I found for today’s post is very interesting. A lady wants to get a good gift for her son and future daughter-in-law for their wedding, and wanted some advice on whether or not the gift she settled on was any good. The article, Give a wedding gift they can really use
, is absolutely wonderful. The lady wanted to get the happy couple a gift of a session with a financial planner/coach, and didn’t know if it was appropriate. It is! It is probably one of the best gifts you can give a young couple starting out! They are new to responsibility, financial planning, budgeting and saving. They probably have a little debt already, and the financial planner/coach can put them on the right track to getting out of debt. They can help them set up a budget, explain terms like 401(k) and APR, answer any specific questions the couple has (to the best of their ability) and offer suggestions and tips on ways to work together with their money. Because, let’s face it, couples need to work together on their money so their money works for them.
So, go check out the article. It is a very cool read. Anyone who is trying to decide between a gravy boat and 1 place setting of china for a good wedding gift should consider this option instead. No, it’s not on their registry, but they probably won’t end up with 2 of them, and people need this type of gift, whether they know it or not!
