About this book

Ron Deal, an expert on blended families, offers financial guidance for families formed through remarriage. This book is part of the Smart Stepfamily Series, which includes titles such as The Smart Stepmom, The Smart Stepdad, Dating and the Single Parent, The Smart Stepfamily Marriage, and Daily Encouragement for the Smart Stepfamily. Money conflicts are common in all marriages, but blended families face particular financial challenges. Debts, bills, and child support obligations from previous relationships complicate household finances. Planning for college, retirement, and estate matters becomes more complex in remarriage situations, and these issues can strain couple relationships and family harmony. The authors draw on over 50 years of combined experience in financial planning and blended family education to help readers plan their combined financial future. The book provides practical strategies for merging existing financial situations and protecting the marriage in the process. It offers financial advice tailored to the legal and relational issues unique to blended families, helping readers provide for their household both currently and long-term.
