Demanding True Financial Partnership Doesn’t Make You Mean - Video

????️ Save the spice for your romantic relationship, not your finances ????️

This week’s episode of Love, your Money® is a little different than most because I decided to read and react to financial relationship woes posted on Reddit.

As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ I have been behind the scenes of more marital accounts than I can keep track of off the top of my head–and more importantly, I’ve been a part of the conversations that happen as a result of those accounts.

What I know for sure is that open communication is a critical part of a healthy financial partnership, but talking openly about money–especially our failures–is not easy to do.

This lack of honesty has huge consequences that are avoidable… and in this episode I’m going to explain exactly what I mean by digging into three financial situationships:

1️⃣ “My husband committed financial infidelity, and I’m not sure what to do”
2️⃣ “My husband lost $60,000 behind my back”
3️⃣ “AITA for wanting a divorce from my husband who lost $200k in bitcoin”

Spoiler alert: You are never the a-hole for demanding financial transparency, productivity, and partnership in your life–and you don’t have to sacrifice your security or well-being for someone else’s money mistakes… especially if they lied to you in the first place!!

Honesty is so important in any relationship, and remember: You can ALWAYS decide to do something differently. You aren’t defined by the mistakes of your past; each day is an opportunity to learn from them so you can do better in the future!

You can ask the awkward questions.
You can reveal the uncomfortable truths.
You can follow the numbers to confirm the answers.

And I hope that some day you’re able to enjoy a very emotionless relationship with money, where conversations are tactical, not volatile. I promise, those are #CoupleGoals worth striving for. ????
