How to Manage Your Financial Life as a Married Couple


Listen Later

Whether you’re newlyweds or have been together for years, navigating money matters can be challenging, especially when you start blending incomes, expenses, and financial goals.

In this episode, I discuss three effective systems for managing finances in a marriage:

  1. Entirely Combined: The traditional approach where both partners share everything—income, expenses, savings, and investments. I share why this method often leads to stronger partnerships and better financial outcomes.

  2. Half and Half: A balanced approach where couples maintain a shared account for bills while also having individual accounts for personal spending. This method allows for autonomy while still working towards common financial goals.

  3. All Separate: While I don’t recommend this for everyone, I explore how some couples, especially those who marry later in life, find success in managing their finances separately.
