"Just Married" ... to Bad Debt and a Big Spender
Northwestern Mutual webcast will educate couples on combining finances and creating a sound financial plan

MILWAUKEE, June 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- When couples tie the knot, they might also be saying "I do" to debt, a low credit score and a partner with incompatible savings habits.

Marriage. The merger of two lives…and two financial portfolios. Are you having the right conversations to ensure you and your partner start your lives together on a strong financial foundation? Register for our upcoming Marriage & Money webcast taking place June 18th. Visit: http://u.nm.com/1jBMxF0

A new interactive webcast from Northwestern Mutual called "Marriage and Money: 3 Steps for Building Your Future Together," is designed to help couples avoid the pitfalls of money management—and successfully build a solid financial future together. 

As part of the webcast, Northwestern Mutual's Delynn Alexander, wealth management advisor and regional director Ryan Kramer CLU®, ChFC®, will expand on three basic steps that married couples need to take when it comes to finances:

  • Assess your financial situation and individual behaviors
  • Create a vision for your future together
  • Develop a plan to make it happen. 

According to Alexander and Kramer, these steps are fundamental for any couple hoping to set a firm foundation for a prosperous life together. Viewers may submit questions to be answered during a live Q&A.

The webcast will take place at Noon CT on Wednesday, June 18, and is open to the public and free of charge. Individuals may register at: http://u.nm.com/Register

"Couples have many concerns when embarking on marriage, with money management being a top consideration. It is important that couples take the right steps that lead them through the process of combining finances and planning a shared future together, in the short and long-term." said Alexander.

Kramer added, "Each and every marriage includes its share of experiences, adventures, dreams and opportunities.  And that is exactly why it is so important for couples to ensure they have a sound financial plan in place."
