We’ve been managing money together for almost a decade, and we’re still learning how to do it better. This episode is part relationship therapy, part financial strategy, and all the things we wish more couples talked about out loud.
We’re talking about what it really takes to handle money together in a way that works for both people. Because most couples don’t need to watch each other’s every move, they just need to feel confident that they’re on the same page, making good decisions, and able to adjust when life throws something new at them.
You’ll hear:
- Why “joint accounts” can still feel deeply one-sided
- The habits that sneak in when financial roles are never defined
- How resentment builds when responsibility goes unspoken
- Why full transparency isn’t always the solution, and what to build instead
- How to set boundaries without starting a fight
- Why interdependence is harder (and better) than independence or control
