Famous families don’t give up control easily. So what happens when a famous son chooses his wife? I went long on The Beckhams in this week’s The Joint Account. open.substack.com/pub/thejoint...

They say, “work smarter, not harder,” and sure, it sounds cliche. But not if you’re not doing it! This week’s issue of The Joint Account’s all about the systems, automations, and pre-planning we do to make our lives easier. Spoiler: they’re not all about $$. open.substack.com/pub/thejoint...

Still pinching myself. Money Together is featured on Audible today. It’ll hit their Well-Being newsletter tomorrow, where it’s safe to say, lots of people will see it 🥹 Narrating our audiobook was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I’m so grateful for our work to be recognized.

In content calendars and the dollar aisles at Target, Valentine’s Day isn’t too far away 🥴 @dougboneparth.bsky.social and I are available for segments and articles as your expert sources on how couples navigate money.

Not sure who to tip this holiday season (or how much)? We’ve got you covered. A year ago, we wrote this tip guide for The Joint Account to help you say thank you with thought and without stress. Here you go 👇 open.substack.com/pub/thejoint...

I can assure you, I am not taking the “we had it worse” position here, but Gen Z’s viral romanticism of the millennial aughts is wildly off base.

It’s #SmallBusinessSaturday. Did you know that you can order books online AND support your local bookstore? Order your copy of Money Together and show your community some love today 🥹❤️🛍️ bookshop.org/p/books/mone...

I’ve had my mind on gratitude this week. We gain so much perspective from framing things a different way. In this week’s issue of The Joint Account, I pose some questions framed around all you’ve done RIGHT this year. Cause all could use some wins. open.substack.com/pub/thejoint...

As the holidays approach, allow me to be the first to tell you that if your wife seems mad about hosting, she’s not. She’s mad you just get to show up.

All I am saying is, what better time to have @dougboneparth.bsky.social and I share our thoughts (in print, online, in studio!) on HOW TO NOT RUIN THE HOLIDAYS BY FIGHTING WITH YOUR SPOUSE ABOUT MONEY??? I’m serious. Use us: domoneytogether[at]gmail[dot]com.

Do you eat your leftovers? Over on the gram, I started my Sad Girl Lunch initiative not just to promote sustainability, but to normalize that most of our meals at home aren’t beautiful. But it’s a much greater feat to avoid waste than take a photo. Read more 👇 open.substack.com/pub/thejoint...

I am not, in fact, sorry. But I’m confident they’ll adjust.

Money Together, our new book, enters the world today. It’s also the 100th post in The Joint Account, which I swear to you, was an unplanned surprise. So in the spirit of milestones and the importance of communication, @dougboneparth.bsky.social and I asked each other some questions. Enjoy. 👇👇👇

Sorry, kids. Halloween is cancelled.

PODCASTERS: We’ve been on the circuit recording before our new book, Money Together, launches next week 🤩. We’ve got the finance crowd covered. But what about the love, family, parenting, and relationships spaces? We belong there, too!

Well, sorry it’s not under better circumstances than ranting about the skyrocketing costs of healthcare, BUT… I’m in The Cut for the first time today, sharing my thoughts on why we’re seeing what we’re seeing this open enrollment season. www.thecut.com/article/heal...

Your girl’s article was “above the fold” in yesterday’s CNBC Make It newsletter! And by above the fold, I mean, Jim Cramer lol. No but really, I am so freaking grateful for all the love Money Together is receiving already. 10/28’s the day! Have you preordered yet? www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/10/...

This says everything about where tween culture is right now:

Time is our greatest currency.

Praise from colleagues is nice, but as an author, nothing feels more meaningful than hearing from those whose stories you were privileged enough to share. This is starting to happen, and I am beside myself with humility and gratitude. Wow.

People keep asking us what “fair” means in the context of relationships. Well, it looks something like this. (He REALLY wanted to be a Saja Boy. I waddled around all night in a 20 lb wig and latex shorts better suited for a fictional K-Pop star. Because I love him.)

Humbled and honored to share that I am in remission from imposter syndrome.

Equity in the world begins with equity at home. Let me show you. Money Together arrives 10/28, but now’s the time to pre-order from your favorite bookstore.

After spending two years interviewing couples about money, I can state with confidence that no one looks back wishing they put another 10 hours a week into their jobs. It’s quite the opposite. We hold onto how we cared, and who cared for us.

It’s May. Our book is due soon. Kids are busy. Firm is beyond busy. We fell a little off the wagon. In this week’s TJA, @dougboneparth shares some tips on staying the course (or as he puts it, “staying regular” 🥴) www.readthejointaccount.com/p/staying-re...

MAYCEMBER. It’s a gauntlet for parents and our kids. For @SheKnows, I wrote about the burdens this insane busy season places on our brains AND our wallets. Check it out 👇 www.sheknows.com/parenting/ar...

Take Your Child To Work Day is as important for the workplace as it is for our children. In a world with little-to-no bifurcation, where we are constantly “on” or expected to be, the more we normalize showing our full lives at work, the more we foster environments that support families.

I know you’re all stressed about economic world order, but my husband is emceeing the school fundraiser tonight and plans to open with a cyber truck joke. Keep me in your prayers.

The best part about April Fools’ Day is learning what everyone else thinks is actually funny.

Friends & Family Sales: We Are Putting Everything On Sale Except The Things You Want!

Find yourself a partner - a business partner, a life partner - who is willing to use their larger platform to elevate yours.

If you think THIS isn’t a thing anymore, think again. People (esp women) are still checked out of their household finances. I know it. I see it. I live it every day. This week’s Q&A offers perspective on why and what you can do to reengage your partner. open.substack.com/pub/thejoint...

Me after my three closest friends and mom preorder our book:

Our book has a new cover, and let me tell you, selecting the colors was no easy task for a book meant for women AND men AND couples of all sexual orientations. I think we did it! Though my UMich friends continue to dig that I’ve jumped ship on my own team.

Me watching my girlfriend absolutely slay an outfit we’ve been talking about for three weeks:

They say *love is blind.* But your finances shouldn’t be! In this week’s TJA, I share 6 red flags I’ve ID’ed through my time interviewing couples about love and money. It’s a juicy one! open.substack.com/pub/thejoint...

WFH is a double-edged sword, but there’s (almost) no way I’d give it up at this moment in our lives. In this week’s TJA, @dougboneparth.bsky.social helps readers figure out just how valuable WFH is (or isn’t) to you. open.substack.com/pub/thejoint...

Our kindergartner is learning how to read. Tonight, she said to me at bedtime, “If I keep reading then I can become an author and write a big book like you.” Stick a fork in me, I’m done 😭

You might’ve heard of The 5 Love Languages, which represent the primary ways we wish to receive love and care. You can speak your partner’s language when it comes to money, too. Our Valentine’s Day post on The Joint Account: open.substack.com/pub/thejoint...

Okay, I’ll be honest. The BlueSky icon lives “beyond the swipe” in the social folder on my iPhone, and I forgot it exists. I’ll fix that, but I’m back now!

Every time I wake up feeling tired, I just remember when going to the dentist used to feel like a vacation. #motherhood

Holiday tipping is one of those super subjective things that can cause real conflict at home. In this week’s The Joint Account, @dougboneparth.bsky.social offers OUR tips for showing your generosity without losing your holiday spirit. www.readthejointaccount.com/p/q-and-a-we...

Let’s play, are there really more food recalls than ever before, or did I just click too much and now all my algo thinks I care about is food recalls?

I don’t understand how a mother could have created the Elf of a Shelf.

It’s okay. You’re allowed to throw out the leftovers today.

Love all my #fintwit guys, but everyone following me on here is a dude. Where are the ladies????

Every year, we drop balloons in our daughters’ beds for their birthdays. I’ll do it until they’re 30 if they let me.

This is my annual appeal to get The Boneparths invited to a seven fishes dinner: 1) I cook well. 2) My kids are polite. 3) My husband is funny.

Proud of my spread!

Just realized this is the only social platform my parents don’t follow me on (yet). LET’S DO THIS! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
