DESCRIPTION
Tips on how to avoid fights in relationships regarding money.
Citation preview
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.
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?
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.
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.
