When people fall in love, they often forget to factor in finances, which potentially leads to heartbreak and fiscal failure. Today's guest is Tucker Cohen, and he's the CEO of the App Smoov, which is changing the way couples manage their expenses. Smoov tracks couples spending while you can select the transactions you'd like to share jointly. When dating, discussions around money can be challenging, but communicating about cash establishes boundaries, trust, and commitment. Tucker shares what's happening in the relationship world, how younger people today are becoming wealthier and prefer to maintain their independence. He also discusses how to take the financial pressure off of dating and why his app is imperative when building a future with someone you love because it's all about the Benjamin's baby!

Tucker Cohen grew up in a coastal town called Marblehead just outside Boston, MA. He's a graduate of Chapman University in Southern California, and he's an athlete, entrepreneur, and investor. Tucker is a 3X founder and 5X start-up operator from seed to series C. Tucker is also the current brand ambassador for Cake's electric motorcycle company. Today, he discusses Smoov, the first expense management platform designed specifically for couples. Financial strains are one of the leading causes of relationships failing. By simplifying the management expenses for young couples while helping navigate emotionally charged conversations, Smoov, removes issues and arguments around money so it doesn't come in between their love for one another. 

Kerry Brett and Tucker Cohen cover a lot of ground. Topics include;

Why banks don't care about harmony in your relationship and why modern banking isn't built for modern day relationships.
Why millennials are driving the divorce rate down because they're getting married later in life.
If you get screwed up around finances or romances, it can derail your life.
Financial infidelity or dishonesty about your spending or debt can be the biggest relationship killer. Couples can't come up with a solution if the other person doesn't know the truth.
Don't be an over-sharer in the early stages of dating; save those stories for your hairdresser. Loose lips sink ships. Don't be complaining about your crushing student debt on your first date, and the same goes for sharing information about the large trust fund you may have acquired.
Don't let money ruin your relationship. Stay open to talking about finances regularly and making things easier for yourself by using an app like Smoov.
Wealth comes in many categories, like freedom, peace, health, and happiness. I like to think that being rich isn't about what you have in your bank; it's what you have in your heart.
Why fighting over finances is the second leading cause for breakups.

In this episode, Julia and Sarabeth share ideas around moving to the next level or moving on. At the same time, offering tips that will put you in a place of power by protecting your pocketbook.

Julia could identify a need when she witnessed the enormous cost and hesitancy of couples looking for prenuptial agreements. With her legal training in law and experience drafting prenups, Hello Prenup was born. Hello Prenup is a company created by women with women in mind because it's no secret women's finances are negatively impacted by divorce more than their husbands. People's desire for prenups has increased by 500% in the last twenty years. Millennials want prenups because most get married later in life and are more established. Julia Rodgers and Sarabeth Jaffe tell us all about their passion Hello Prenup, the first digital platform where you can create a prenup quickly from your own home for a fraction of the price.

Communication is key, especially around finances. Finances affect everything, your health, well-being, where you live, and the trajectory of your life.
Make sure you're operating under the same basic principles and values; while making sure you have the big questions answered before the big day. Remember, you can always change your answers down the line as long as you communicate effectively.
