Description

Talking about money is difficult for people. If you've listened to our previous podcasts, you've probably heard us say that many of us grew up being taught not to talk about money. The problem is that it can lead to conflict, especially in relationships. As you may know, money is a top cause of divorce. It breaks relationships apart. We're here to tell you that if you talk about money early in your relationships and have ongoing conversations about finances, it can actually be a bonding experience for you and your partner. That sounds great, right? But how do you get there? Well, you're in luck! In this episode of A Place of Possibility, we are diving back into our "Getting Your Financial House in Order" series to give you the nuts and bolts of how to have the money talk with your significant other. We will discuss,

• How to set the stage or foundation to begin this conversation
• What types of questions you should be asking each other
• The five different methods to managing finances
• How to find compromise if you have two completely different views on budgets, spending, debt, credit, etc.

And more! No matter where you are in your relationship, it can be challenging to know how to start this topic of conversation or even continue the dialogue. Our goal is to help you level the playing field, ultimately bringing you closer. You and your partner don't have to be a perfect money match, but you should understand where the other is coming from to help find solutions that work for you both. So, let's get started!
