Miami, April 2026 — For Financial Literacy Month, Elaine King, CFP®, founder of Family and Money Matters™, was invited to FOX News to address the relationship between money and couples before a national English-speaking audience. A regular voice on networks serving the Hispanic community, King is one of the few Latina financial planners contributing to the U.S. financial conversation in both languages.
Key Idea. Conflicts between partners rarely begin with money, but with the story each person carries; if you don’t define it together, money divides.
Why It Matters
Financial conflicts in relationships rarely originate in money itself, but in the stories, beliefs, and emotions each person brings. Carrying that idea to an English-speaking audience, from a Latina perspective, broadens a conversation that audience seldom hears in those terms.
Elaine King’s Perspective
- From “my money” to a shared purpose. On FOX News, King explained that when couples stop thinking in terms of “my money” and “your money” and build a common purpose, money stops dividing and becomes a tool of trust: “if you don’t define money together, money will divide you.”
- Women’s financial stress. On Ante Usted she noted that, by her reading, more than 70% of women report money-related stress, compounded in the “sandwich generation” caring for both children and aging parents.
- PODER™: purpose first. She presented her PODER framework, whose first letter, P for Purpose (Propósito), places clarity ahead of budgeting: “a budget without purpose is just a list of numbers.”
- During the holidays, create memories. On Telemundo, she emphasized that it's not about how much we spend on candy, decorations, or last-minute gifts, but about the experiences we create as a family.
