So, you’re about to share your life with someone, and that’s a beautiful thing. But, before you jump into it, be sure to share some relevant information with them first. In this episode of My Next Move, Behavioral Scientist Michael Liersch shouts it from the proverbial rooftop: Talk to your future spouse about where you both stand when it comes to money. Make that happen. The big question is, when? Michael suggests discussing finances in stages, starting with making sure you’re both aligned. “What does the whole situation look like in terms of how you’re going to be using your money as a couple?” he asks. Think about your shared values as well as your shared financial goals and ideas. Then move forward from there. “Disclosing financial information doesn’t necessarily start with balance sheets but it does start with - what do you want to accomplish with your money?” Michael will tell you why.
