Investment vs Family - Personal Time & Finance Balancing

[Kyle Pagliaro]

Hey All - I'm currently in my initial stages of my RE investing journey, but wanted to get opinions and advice on balancing my aspirations for the day to day real world time and financial commitments necessary. I'm currently engaged to be married in February 2024 and while she is 1,000% supportive of investing (being brought along in the journey while I do most of the day to day work), I want to make sure I don't forget to take time for my future marriage. In the same vein, she and I have talked about how finances will be managed, but I'd be curious to know if anyone has lessons learned or advice for a new couple starting out. 

Thanks in advance!

Congratulations!  I would write down your goals and try to commit to a schedule that you think is realistic to achieve.  Sometimes it might entail getting up very early or going to bed late to get that little extra done.  It sounds like you communicate well with your fiancée and that is essential so keep that up.  If you want or need to do something just keep her in the loop.  All in all you need to find balance in everything one way or another.  CPA CFP here just giving life experiences so far.  Everything ends up being trial and error and learning from mistakes and seeing what works and what does not.  Read a lot of try to find one or more mentors.  Good luck.
