Farm partners: manage
money together
LANCASTER “She does the
cooking and I do the money.” Are
you locked into that old fallacy?
“Today more than ever before,
husbands and wives must manage
their money together,” says
Marilyn M. Furry, Extension
family resource management
specialist at Penn State. Tax time
is a perfect time to get your money
managing skills together,
especially if you operate a farm.
Just think of the alternative.
Statistically, more women than

always be a fortune, it is money
that needs to be managed. Who

Managing money is a skill that
will not only save you money but
will save you time. In today’s
hectic world it’s hard to know
which is more important. But the
fact remains that each of us who
spends money should be respon
sible for where it goes and how it
goes.
While you are doing your taxes,
take the extra time necessary to go
over returns together. If one
doesn’t understand a category or
the reason behind a deduction, look
it up together. Take the time to be
clear about your own reporting
system. Take clues from this
year’s returns to be prepared for
