Hi, We are Kevin and Barb Payne. We’ve spent almost 20 years learning how to manage our money better. We’ve had plenty of failures along the way, but we’ve also found ways to succeed. Our money successes have allowed us to stress less and enjoy life more.
Family Money Adventure was created to share our story (the good and the bad) and spark meaningful conversations about family, money, and travel.
We aren’t experts. We don’t have all of the answers and we’re not experts by any means. Our adventures with money, travel and family have been a constant source of growth and we hope our story inspires you to become more engaged in your own story.

Join us in the conversation and take control of your own adventure today.
