Getting financially educated is about to get a lot easier. Someone you trust could turn you on to a publication or website that answers a lot of questions and helps you feel more empowered when it comes to your money. Take this seriously and take copious notes. This is an educational time for you, when you start to learn about things you never thought you’d ever have any interest in. Your brain is ready and waiting to soak up some heavy stuff, so feel free to pour it on.

Let the romantic in you see all the possibilities and put the critic to sleep for right now. It’s surprisingly easy. All you have to do is remind yourself that beginnings are times to let yourself learn, relax, and grow.

You’re on fire through much of the day, and you might just have an idea about your relationship that reshapes everything. Make some notes, though. By this evening, you could be off on some random tangent.

The difference between your fantasies and your financial reality is stark. Don’t let that depress you, though. Use it to motivate yourself to action. You might just stave off a crisis.
