When you set big and ambitious financial goals, relying on your willpower alone to achieve them usually isn't sufficient. Pure focus and determination will get you started... but the best way to stick to your goals in the long run is to hold yourself accountable to other people. Which is why I'm so excited to welcome my accountability partner, Heather Townsend, to this week's episode of the Money and Marriage podcast. Heather and I have met every Tuesday at 2 PM Eastern time since September 2018 to work through challenges together and hold each other accountable to our goals.  In this episode, we discuss: How we view the role of accountability in achieving your biggest goals. The qualities to look for in a good accountability partner - and why your spouse shouldn't be the person trying to hold you accountable Her biggest tip drawing from her experience as a financial planner to help couples trying to make financial progress ...and much more! Heather is one of my favorite people on the planet and I am so excited to welcome her to today's episode!
