Welcome to the mid-season premiere of Young Black MRS. In this episode, Morgane chats with Lea of Mpower Finance about how finances affect your marriage in the Main Event.

Morgane shakes her curls at the idea of marriage being a business decision. Spoiler alert, Morgane is more focused on a long-term partnership.

She chews on vegan-friendly Mexican food from a local restaurant during What You Chewin’.

Here are the key takeaways from the Main Event with Lea of Mpower Finance

Mpower Finance offers education on retirement, estate planning, couple financial planning, and more.

Lea started saving for retirement in her early teenage years and that saving has yielded her over 60K. She learned her great money mindset from her parents, who served as parents and mentors to her in her youth. Though her parents also had humble beginnings, they focused on generational wealth for Lea. This set a strong foundation for Lea to pass along to her daughters.

Mpower Finance offers an online course called Empowered Couples. During this course, Lea and her team do provide excel worksheets to help track the couple’s finances but that information is only shared between the couple. This program helps facilitate the conversation about the couple’s values and goals within their union.

During our discussion about how money affects marriage, the topic of shared accounts did pop up. How did Lea reply...with research of course. Stats show that 95% of couples with shared income are reportedly happier in the relationship. Lea believes this might be true because of the total transparency in the marriage.

So what’s on the horizon for your money? Reports have shown that spending has dramatically decreased since the pandemic. However, with more activities opening up, Lea recommends being cautious with your spending. Consider your couple goals and values before discretionary spending.

Shifting your mindset over money in marriage means a few things. First, shift your mindset to us not me. If you hate the word budget like Lea, reclaim the word by calling it a spending plan. Lea also is an avid investor and prefers investing your money over putting it in a savings account.

Let’s keep the conversation going by connecting with Morgane and Lea on social media. Let the pair know what you thought of this episode.

How far are you willing to go for love? In this episode, Morgane chats with Jennifer about meeting her future husband in middle school. Though we all don’t experience marrying your prom date, Jennifer’s relationship wasn’t quite the 90s rom-com. Morgane shakes her curls at the following milestones. Milestones tend to make you feel like you are behind. But those goals might just be someone else’s goals, not yours. Live your life the way you choose. Here are the key takeaways from the Main Event with Jennifer: Jennifer is born and raised in Kansas City and she reps Kansas City to the fullest. You can tell by the twos Kansas City sidebar at the top of the conversation. Once we got into Jennifer’s love story, it could almost be taken straight from a movie. Jennifer’s future husband asked her to be his girlfriend in band class while the two were in middle school. The two finally get together after going to the prom together, and the rest was history. Well sort of. Long-distance became a leading character in this love story. Along with the sound of Skype calls, Jennifer kept missing as she was living her best life in Washington, DC for the first two years of college. Despite Howard's handsome, chocolate men, Jennifer knew she only wanted her future hubby and took a giant leap to show her commitment. She transferred from her very prestigious HBCU to a local college just to be two hours away from her boyfriend. Those next to years were the toughest years of their relationship. In marriage, Morgane and Jennifer both related on romanticizing marriages based on TV. As well as the true meaning of intimacy. Here’s a hint, it’s not sex.
