Sherman Merricks

Do you and your spouse fight about money — or just avoid the conversation entirely? In this episode, Sherman and Cristina get real about their own money personalities and why understanding yours might be the key to finally getting on the same page.

They break down the four money personalities — Saver, Spender, Avoider, and Planner — and share how their opposite styles have actually strengthened their marriage and their finances.

In this episode:
• The 4 money personalities and how to spot yours
• Why opposites attract (and how to make it work for you, not against you)
• Sherman and Christina's honest take on their own money journeys
• Why loaning money to family and friends almost always goes wrong
• How they paid off $203,000 in debt — faster than expected
• Why contentment is the secret weapon no one talks about
