3 simple fun ways to Love your Mate AND your Money.

Have you ever fought over money with your loved one?

Have you ever wondered why?

The reason is many of us were not taught how to manage our money from K to our Bachelor's degree.
We were only taught how to crunch numbers. 
Now is the time to start picking up these new skills to have more money and love in our lives.
Like many things in life, financial intimacy must be nurtured, (slowly, patiently, lovingly) in order to grow.



Here's a three-part method to build financial communicationt with your mate, simply by asking questions.

Step 1:

Getting to Know You

Tone: Playful

Swap ice breakers:

What's your #1 money worry?

What are you saving for?

Step 2:

Getting to Know Us

Tone:  Inquiring

Explore values:

How would you spend a raise?

What's your ideal lifestyle?

Step 3:

Becoming a Team

Tone: Give & Take

Seek agreement:

We need X and we have to pay off Y—what do you suggest?

How much do we need total?
