Hey everyone, I'm Lena Banks – a Certified Financial Planning professional and small business coach based in Austin, TX. Welcome to Financial Therapy!

Today we're talking about a tricky subject: comingling your finances with a financial partner. If you're in a relationship with someone you love and care about, how do you determine how (or whether) to put your finances together--combining your spending and investment power, and intertwining your financial fates?

With personal finance, 1+1 can equal 3...or it can be a disaster for one or both parties involved. No matter how you plan to manage your finances together, or what baggage you're bringing to the table in the form of debt or other obligations, today we're talking about 4 "big-picture" questions to ask yourself--and to talk through with your partner--before you take the plunge to comingle.
