Money In Relationships: Are There Rules?

In this episode of Deep Pockets & Stilettos, we discuss a very important topic and that is Money In Relationships which is often something that couples overlook: we talk about children, where we want to live, our main goals in life but not really the nitty-gritty of how we are going to manage our money as a couple to lay out a good foundation for our future. So the question that is on everyone’s lips is: are there rules to this? The short answer is no. Every relationship is unique and it’s up to you and your partner to decide what works best for the both of you. That said, there are a couple of “best practices” that you can observe when getting into the money topic with your spouse or partner. So in this episode, we’ll go over the why, the when and the how to address finances in a relationship. We’ll finish off by taking a deeper look at common situations such as what to do when one partner is the main breadwinner of the household and why household chores should not be overlooked in your couple's money conversation.
