Cash & Love is the result of the personal story of Lady Grâce and her husband Valestin Pitou. After their marriage, the couple encountered numerous financial challenges, sources of frustration and incomprehension.

Concerned that these difficulties were marring the harmony of their relationship, Lady Grâce and Valestin took matters into their own hands. They realized that the key was financial education, and very soon they were able to build up a solid nest egg on a single income and, in the process, set up their first company: Ophel Business.

Active in real estate, e-commerce and car rental, this success has aroused the interest of those around them, particularly couples, curious to understand the keys to their success. To share this knowledge, the couple came up with a new idea: to create a company dedicated to the financial education of couples. As the couple testifies, Cash & Love’s mission is to provide fun tools, advice and practical resources to enable couples to manage their finances in a serene, collaborative and efficient way.

A first playful tool : the card game

The Cash & Love card game card game is a first step in opening up the conversation around money. Comprising six categories – exchange zone, vision and plans, financial state of play, saving and increasing resources, challenges, optimizing spending – this interactive game is designed to arouse curiosity and encourage couples to make new financial resolutions together, by creating common goals.
