Are you wearing someone else’s financial clothes?
by Angie Carlson
Remember those hand-me-down clothes you got as a kid?
Yeah, they technically covered you…
But they were:
👚Designed for someone else’s body
👚Showed wear and tear from a past life
👚Never fit quite right
👚Clashed with your actual style
👚Came with a guilt trip: “you should be grateful.”
Guess what?
That’s exactly what traditional financial advice feels like for most couples.
You’re out here trying to live life in 2025 with money strategies built for your parents or grandparents’ economy.
No wonder it feels uncomfortable.
No wonder you’re both second guessing every decision.
No wonder
IT
DOESN’T
WORK.
You’re walking a financial path built for someone else. And then blaming yourself when your body starts to chafe.
Remember that moment when you first wore clothes that were actually made for YOU?
The confidence.
Comfort.
That yes, this is ME feeling?
That’s what my clients experience inside the Agree & Achieve 6 month coaching program.
No cookie-cutter budgets. No one-size-fits-all advice.
Just custom financial strategies that fit your relationship, your values, and your real life.
When couples stop wearing financial hand-me-downs and start designing a money plan that actually reflects who they are, everything shifts.
They walk taller.
Decide faster.
Feel lighter.
So be honest:
Are you trying to squeeze your size 20 life into a size 4 financial plan? And then blaming yourself when that outfit won’t zip?
Maybe it’s time for a wardrobe upgrade.
