Keep It Collaborative

The monthly rhythm only helps if the tone stays safe. Picture two teammates reviewing the game plan, not an auditor hunting for fraud.

Three rules keep it that way:

• No blame — if someone overspent, discuss it as a fact, not a crime
• Stay curious — questions, not verdicts
• End forward — close on the next goal, not the last mistake

Money talks handled with curiosity instead of contempt do more than prevent fights. They quietly build trust.
