What Company is Offering:
The Banzai Way is an entirely new approach to controlling your spending. Dissatisfied with traditional financial management tools, they began with a clean sheet of paper and created a system which gives your money a purpose. The Banzai Way is an invitation to try something different — there’s simply nothing else like it. They are committed to helping you make the transition to this new perspective on spending. One way they do this is by giving you personalized, one-on-one assistance.
How It Works:
Upon sign-up, you will be given the name and email address of your Banzai Coach—a real human being committed to helping you navigate The Banzai Way. Your coach will be available to you whenever you have a question or need assistance applying The Banzai Way to your individual circumstances.
Get your first month of Banzai for one dollar! After the trial, your subscription will continue for only $4.95/mo.
If you sign-up for six month billing, we'll send you a printed copy of The Banzai Way, our 124-page guide to the philosophy and website, at no additional charge.
In addition to your Banzai Coach, you will also have access to an extensive online support library and a user forum where you can discuss what works (and what doesn’t) with other followers of The Banzai Way.

ListenToYourWife.com
What Company is Saying:
ListenToYourWife.com you ask? The idea for this site started when I shared a NPR Radio story to my husband. My background is in Art, and I didn't have much knowledge on the subject, so it thrilled me because it gave me an opportunityto share an insightful story about HIS industry (IT).
However, from the moment that I was sharing the story, I felt a sense of skepticism in Howard's big eyes. He didn't believe a thing that I was saying!!! Worse was that he had the nerve to hop on to the computer in front of me and start Googling for the story. I couldn't believe what I was seeing!! When has my story become a fairy tale? Just because he has been in the industry for such a long time, it wasn't fair for him to automatically discredit it just because it came from me! Had the story come from his friends, co-workers, or even Sports Radio he would've believed it!!!
When he realized that the story was true, he turned to me and added, 'I guess you were right...'. I commented in an annoyed and sarcastic tone, 'Do you ever believe me?. Since you need the internet to validate my story, perhaps you should go to ListenToYourWife.com." Again Howard went to the computer and typed in listentoyourwife.com. At that time such a site did not exist. But it certainly gave us ideas.
I guess you could say something clicked in our heads after that experience. Howard and I were sure that I wasn't the only wife that felt this way. There must be thousands, if not millions of other wives with similar experiences. Why isn't there a site where I can go to share my marriage experiences? I needed a place to BE HEARD!! There was MySpace and FaceBook for teens and college students; LinkedIn for business professional. What about wives? Why not a destination portal where wives can freely go to express themselves?
Well, I guess you could say the rest is history. With the help from other business partner and my wonderful husband, (who now pays more attention to what I say), We've created this website to allow wives and future wives to connect, share their expertise and stories, and their life experience.
