When we disagree on money.
When we disagree on money.
When opposites attract it can sometimes be in the finance department. And if communication is lacking the stress can build.
Begin by first understanding one another’s money story. Listen to each person’s financial beginnings and experiences up to today. Next, explore the current and future goals of your financial life. Answer independently the following questions:
- What is the purpose of money to me?
- What am I willing to sacrifice to reach the mutual goals?
Perhaps from there you can begin to think about your financial decisions together. Having regular conversations around money can be uplifting and help you stay on track to living a fulfilling life.
They say communication is the path to a healthy relationship. Make money a part of that communication to strengthen your financial identity.
