Tune in for tips, strategies, and inspiration from Certified Financial Planner® and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, Melissa Murphy Pavone. Whether your finances are blended, you keep separate accounts, or have a hybrid setup with your partner, talking about money is essential for ensuring financial fidelity. She suggests having these conversations, not just at the beginning of a relationship, but also consistently during what she calls, “financial date nights.” Each month, couples set a time to talk about topics around financial values, priorities, mindsets, and tactical decisions. She says that a person’s “money language” is liken to a love language and that making sure there is financial compatibility or at least a mutual understanding of the differences is a key to a thriving relationship. And, what is more romantic than a financial date night? And, if you’re curious about Corey’s view on teens riding in Ubers and thrift store clothes and Tracy’s desire to sleep in a tent on vacation and consume food like the Jetson’s did, you’ll definitely want to listen in!
