Talk about your financial philosophies

Sit down and talk about what your philosophies and beliefs are around money. Too many couples avoid this topic, assuming they share similar ideas. You may be surprised to find that your partner has some very different feelings than you do about things like saving for retirement or homeownership. It’s possible neither of you even realized you held beliefs about money – you’ve just always lived the way you lived, not thinking about the ideas driving your money habits. The conversation may get awkward and even contentious at times, but it’s better to learn where you’re at sooner rather than later and see if you can get on the same page.
