#18: I discuss how to get aligned with your significant other / fiancé / fiancée / or even spouse when it comes to money and finances.

Specifically, I share 17 questions to discuss with your partner to get aligned on money and finances.

This is important for any couple. But it’s absolutely critical once you start to seriously contemplate marriage.

Even if you are already married and haven’t gotten aligned on money yet, it’s better to do it now (especially before kids) rather than put it off.

It may be...not the most fun conversation. But it’s an investment in your relationship because finances are a leading cause of divorce: about a quarter of all divorces are because of money issues.

So, develop a curiosity mindset for the other person’s philosophy around money. It’ll be one of the best investments you can make in each other.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why it's so hard to have completely transparent money conversations with your partner
