Avoid Relationship Troubles Over Money

Financial stress is common. The best advice is open honest communication from the start. If your relationship is not new you can work to improve communication and collaborate on your goals.

Practical tips:

• Communicate openly and honestly about financial goals and spending habits. Do not have secrets or hide information. This will undermine your essential trust in each other in all things.
• Set specific, achievable financial goals together. Start small (see the blog on Micro habits from last week!) Tiny Habits
• Few things will cause more stress than debt. Create a budget and stick to it. This may take sacrifice, however, will lead to rewards.
• Have a monthly "date" to discuss finances to keep on the same page.
