Managing your own finances can be tricky enough, but what happens when there’s someone in the picture? If you and your partner aren’t on the same page, what can you do to still have a happy marriage and talk about money without killing each other?
We sit down with Andy Hill to talk about how couples can get on the same page when it comes to their finances. We chat about how fights about money aren’t really about money, how to communicate with your partner so neither feels like it’s an attack, and the mindset strategies you both need when it comes to accomplishing big financial goals. We also talk about how communication and decision making as a couple may change when kids enter the picture.
