WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT

Tips On How To Avoid Fight In Relationships Regarding Money

If you plan to talk about money, always air your feelings first. Otherwise, negotiations

will always break down.

If you can’t deal with the pressure of speaking face to face, start small. Write down your feelings so you can more clearly articulate them with your partner.

HERE ARE SOME IDEAS YOU CAN TRY WITH YOUR SPOUSE OR YOUR

BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND:

1. Find a non-stressful time when money is not

a loaded issue (definitely NOT tax

season) and when you can be alone. 

2. Take turns sharing your childhood memories about money. How did your parents save it, spend it, talk about it? How did they deal with allowances? How did that make you feel and how does it affect you today?

3. Share your old hurts, resentments

and fears about money.

4. Mention your concerns and fears about your partner’s money style. Then

acknowledge what you admire about their methods and what you secretly envy. 

5. Share your hopes and dreams. Talk about your goals for the future, short and long-term.

6. Consider making a shared budget or a

spending plan together that meets the hopes and the goals that have come up on your list more than once. Start with areas of

common ground.

7. Set a time to have the next money talk. Aim for weekly conversations in the beginning, then monthly ones.
