I have interviewed a lot of couples for this series. They have ranged in age from their 20’s through their 60’s. Very few couples that I interviewed were taken by surprise financially by their spouse. Many of them worked together to eliminate the consumer debt that was used to buy “stuff” and have made decisions jointly when taking on new debt. For the most part, we communicate well with our spouses regarding finances.
Money issues can tear a couple apart. Money can also provide choice and freedom. I am happy and relieved that so many of you no longer make money a taboo topic.
“A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart”
