Why do so many couples avoid talking about money when it’s essential in order to build and protect one’s wealth?  Join me as I explore why couples need to discuss their finances and, more importantly, how to navigate these conversations effectively. Research consistently highlights that couples who openly communicate about money are happier and more fulfilled in their relationships. However, despite these findings, many couples still find it challenging and awkward to broach the subject.  So if that’s you - you’re not alone. Whether you're newlyweds, longtime partners, or somewhere in between, I’ll share my advice on how to achieving financial harmony and strengthening your relationship along the way. ------------------- Key moments: 00:00 - 03:37: Unveiling the Taboo: Why Money Talk with Your Partner Matters 03:38 - 05:59: Money Personalities: Understanding Your Beliefs and Habits 06:00 - 06:59: Financial Goals: Crafting a Plan for Shared Dreams 07:00 - 07:56: Scheduling Success: The Power of Regular Money Talks 07:57 - 08:49: Breaking the Silence: Strengthening Bonds for Financial Health --------------------- Saijal Patel, CFA, is a former CNBC and BNN journalist and passionate financial wellness advocate.
