Different Money Backgrounds, One Budget: Our Relationship Story
Talking about money in a relationship can be... a lot. In this episode, we take you through the story of how we learned to talk about money as a couple — from awkward first convos and conflicting money beliefs, to building shared strategies that support our life together.
Along the way, we tackle big themes like:
• Fairness vs equality in finances
• Keeping track without keeping score
• Separate accounts vs shared money
• Bridging differences in financial education and life philosophy
Whether you're newly partnered or decades in, this episode offers real talk (and a few laughs) for anyone trying to build financial intimacy and teamwork in their relationship.
