Many couples put off talking about money until there's a problem. A relaxed first conversation, before any big decision, makes everything after it easier.
Questions to start with
- How was money handled in your family growing up?
- What does "having enough" mean to you?
- What are you most worried about with money?
- What would you love to do or have in five years?
- Do you have any debts or money commitments the other should know about?
Keep it kind
Listen more than you talk, don't judge past decisions, and stop if it gets heated. You can always come back to it.
