Once the wedding bells have stopped ringing, even well-heeled newlyweds like Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey need to be mindful of their finances.

At that age, many couples are still hitched to student loans and credit-card debt accumulated as singletons. “They live for the moment and don’t think ahead,” says Nancy Langdon Jones, a certified financial planner in Upland, Calif. “For many couples, this period in their lives has the greatest impact on what will happen in their future.” Please read rest of the article at Forbes.com.
