20 Worst Money Mistakes People Make in the Name of Love
Don't let finances ruin your romance.
By Andrew Lisa August 25, 2020
While it’s true that love might not cost a thing, plenty of romances fall victim to money — or at least to money mistakes. Money and relationships are inseparable, and if you mismanage the former, the latter hardly stands a chance. From secrecy and poor communication to conflicting priorities and plain old bad decisions, some of the best relationship advice helps two people avoid the pitfalls of money mistakes in romance. Find out if you and your partner are making common money mistakes, and discover how these mistakes can hurt your relationship.
Keeping Money a Secret
It’s important to be open about money as it is to be open about even the most intimate aspects of your love life.
“Couples are more comfortable discussing sex than money,” said Neale Godfrey, chairman and president of Children’s Financial Network. “They need to be comfortable with both. They should come clean with each other about assets, debt, income and expenses. They also need to set their goals together.” Avoiding money conversations can result in a change in the relationship’s power dymanic.
Leaving Financial Responsibilities to Just One Partner
It takes two to tango — and this has never been truer than when it comes to financial heavy lifting. This includes paying the bills and the management of investments. “Both partners need to have a clear handle on the inflows and outflows of money,” Godfrey said. “Even if you hate paying bills, do it.”
Concealing Your ‘Financial Personality’
Being real about who you are and accepting the other person as he or she is can mean the difference between relationship success and couple catastrophe — especially where money is concerned.

Tishwash: Al-Fariji: The revenue generated from the change in the exchange rate does not represent a profit.
Crisis expert Ali Al-Fariji confirmed that the revenue generated from the increase in the dollar exchange rate against the dinar does not represent a net gain added to the state treasury.
Al-Fariji told Al-Maalouma that "raising the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar in the local markets may provide quick liquidity, but it does not represent a financial reform in itself."
He added that "real reform lies in building a multi-source revenue system, recovering funds and assets, reducing waste, and transforming the economy from dependence on oil and dollar pricing to financial management that measures results and creates real and sustainable revenues for the state."
