“I wish I discussed finances before I got married last time.” Sound familiar?
Did you know past statistics have shown that in the U.S. approximately 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second, and 73% of third marriages end in divorce?*
Not surprisingly, a major cause of divorce in marriages is money. *You’ve found that special someone (again) but, you’re still trying to figure out how you talk about the “M” word without ruining the romance. You know it's smart to work together, but where do you start?
Building a solid foundationof communication and partnership around
managing your moneyis crucial to lifelong intimacy, trust, and success in a marriage.
Don't Talk to Your Partner About Money? You're Not Alone.
As both a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and a Money Coach, I work with many smart, hard-working couples who just don't talk with each other about money. Maybe you and your new partner are like this too. As life becomes stressful, kids enter the picture, and expenses continue to rise, it becomes harder to talk about money without temperatures rising or carving out more than 5 minutes of sanity time. And then, someone loses a job, or you decide to divorce. There's a mad scramble to find all the documentation, list assets, and figure out what you're spending. THERE IS A BETTER WAY.Related:
