This week on the AJ Bell Money Matters podcast, Danni and Laura are joined by financial psychotherapist and author Vicky Reynal.
With couples mainly arguing about overspending and not saving for the future*, and younger couples having more disagreements about finances than those in retirement, we wanted to get to the bottom of the trend. Understanding why emotions are heavily linked to money, and importantly how to break cycles makes this a must-listen episode, for those coupled up or not.
*Survey conducted for AJ Bell by Opinium of 2,000 nationally representative Brits of which 1,291 were in couples. Survey completed between 6-10 February 2026.

It's personal: why money makes couples argue

It’s rude to talk about money, right? Wrong. Money really matters.

From knowing your worth to understanding the gender investment gap and how to close it, we’re here to help women have more open conversations about money and investing.

Because the truth, is women in the UK have less than half the levels of savings and investments as men*. At AJ Bell we’re passionate about helping people invest – so that statistic really bothers us.

Money Matters is our programme to put this right, through a range of educational material to help women get to grips with investing. As well as this website, that includes a regular newsletter, a podcast, and webinars all designed with female investors in mind.

So what are you waiting for? Join the conversation today.
