Piece Description

One of the most common issues that couples fight over is money. And sometimes a financial planner can't help, because there's underlying emotional factors that don't show up on a spreadsheet. But there's a few people in the industry who are trying out a new method they're tentatively calling "financial therapy" – which merges techniques of marriage counseling with financial planning. Sylvia Maria Gross of station KCUR recently paid a visit to a new clinic that's researching this strategy in Manhattan, Kansas.
