How you feel about money
Everyone has their own ideas and thoughts about money. Some people see money as a way to feel safe and stable, while others see it as a way to have fun and try new things. For a relationship to work, both people must understand how the other feels about money.
You might want to talk about your childhood and how it affected how you think about money. What did your parents or teachers teach you about money? Do you feel safe splitting up your financial responsibilities, or would you rather stick to the old ways?

Having a shared vision for your life will help you make choices that are in line with your present and future goals.
To build a future together, it’s important to remember that you need to talk to each other often and be flexible.
