In reply to Eric Bowlin. It is pretty insightful! I know I always relied on frugality because my parents did. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

I never thought to ask about how the parents handle money. It’s a great way to get insight into your partner!

In reply to giulia. Yes! The saver versus spender mentality can be a huge divider if you don't talk about it. I am a saver, while my husband tends to be more of a spender. We could talk openly about it and find a budget that works for both of us.

In reply to Chonce. Agreed! I'm pretty sure my husband and I would drive each other crazy if we hadn't talked about it. It saves a lot of disagreements when you both already know what your financial goals are as a couple.

Absolutely agre, in my personal opinion must to be clear and honest about finances, debt, goals with partner from the beginning of relation,, if you are a saver and your partner is a spender is better to know from the beginning and togethere find a right deal for your finances!!!

Love this! These are all questions I asked my (now) husband. It felt so good to get finances in order before we took that next step. I think it’s important for people in a committed relationship to talk about their finances and make sure both are in agreement with where they’re going. Saves hassle later on.
