The Money Date Guide: How to Talk About Money with Your Partner
February 8, 2021
Are you looking for a way to talk openly about your finances with your partner? Or do you want to start setting and sharing financial goals with your partner but don’t know where to start?
Then a money date is a great place to start. Money dates are a great way to get the awkward money conversation going between you and your partner. And they are a great way to set and share financial goals together and start feeling like a team. Every partner has their own feelings towards money rooted in their own lived experiences. And as a couple, it can be hard to discuss these things openly, as one can feel very vulnerable.
But figuring out a way to talk about money openly is a rewarding experience that will help you get on the same page and start working on your financial goals together.*
My partner and I started having money dates when we decided to move in together. These dates have been invaluable as they help us align our money with the shared vision we have for our future.

Therefore, we knew from the get-go that we needed to be vulnerable and talk about all things money, both good and bad, to be able to get on the same page and work towards our goals as a team.
