Things You Should Be Comfortable Discussing With Your Partner
Your budgeting goals
Finances are extremely important. Shame, pride, or shyness around this topic can lead a person into financial ruin. You shouldn’t be agreeing to the expensive trips and date nights that your partner suggests, but you both pay for, if you can’t afford them, all because you’re afraid to tell him that. If spending a lot on rent isn’t in your plan right now because you want to save for a down payment on a home, you should be able to say that. Finances impact your happiness, your wellbeing, and your lifestyle, and you must get comfortable discussing them with a long-term partner.
