Someone in both of your corners
I am here to help you
work it out together.
I'm Sam. I listen to what matters to each of you, then help you understand the numbers, weigh the choices, and agree on what happens next. The plan needs to make sense to both of you.
You work directly with me, so you do not have to explain your situation to a different person each time. I learn your priorities and help you follow through as life changes.
Practical financial coaching—not couples therapy, investment management, or divorce mediation. No commissions, product sales, or referral fees.

Before we talk
Questions you may both have.
Do we need to be in debt or disagree about money?
No. You can get along well and still want help organizing your finances, choosing shared goals, or following through. Couples financial coaching can support those goals without debt or money arguments being part of the picture.
Do both partners need to attend?
For ongoing couples work, both partners take part in the decisions and sessions. You can start by asking questions on your own, and both of you are welcome on the free introductory call.
Is couples financial coaching the same as couples therapy?
No. Goalpost works on practical money decisions: budgeting, debt, savings, bills, and follow-through. Relationship therapy, mental-health treatment, and divorce mediation are outside the service.
Can you help if one of us spends and the other saves?
Yes. We can work on shared goals, personal spending amounts, and a rule for purchases that affect both partners. The aim is an arrangement you both understand and can use, rather than making one person supervise every transaction.
Do we have to combine our bank accounts?
No. Joint, separate, and hybrid arrangements can all be discussed. We start with responsibilities and goals, then consider an account setup that supports the decisions you make. Read the couples budgeting guide.
What if one partner brought debt into the relationship?
We include the debt in the household picture and discuss how you both want to handle payments and shared goals. Sam helps make the trade-offs clear; legal ownership or liability questions belong with a qualified attorney.
How much does financial coaching for couples cost?
Both partners are included in one fee. The recommended plan is $250/month, designed for 12 months of work. The $400/month option lets you decide one month at a time. Both include the same support, are billed monthly, and can be canceled at any time. Both include a 90-minute assessment, a personal plan, private calls every two weeks, unlimited text and email support, and your Goalpost portal. See services and pricing.
What can we expect from the first call?
Tell Sam where money decisions keep getting difficult and what you would like to change. He will explain the work, support, and cost. You do not need to organize all your accounts or settle your disagreements before reaching out.
