But I think a little bit of a balance, especially at the beginning stage, you start as you mean to go on.

I think obviously at the beginning stages you are kind of giving each other, I suppose you're learning who each other are.

So you kind of figure out what type of job they have, where they live, what type of car they have, how many holidays they go on a year.

So there's these kind of little subliminal messages as to how financially secure they are.

I would say when it just organically comes up, I wouldn't be kind of orchestrating a conversation, but I most certainly would be having a serious conversation about money before you move in together, before you get engaged, before you get married, before you have a baby.

You know, as soon as you start having these bigger plans and like I'd like to remind everybody, you can't scare someone away.

So we all grew up with Cosmopolitan magazine.

Don't tell them you want to get married someday.

Don't tell him you want to have a baby.

Whatever you do, don't mention finances.

But like realistically, the older we get and people are getting married a lot older and they are meeting their person a lot older.

And so I would say, you know, if you feel like you need to have the conversation, so people show you who they are.

And I would say, listen, don't ignore the red flags.

So if somebody, if you're kind of getting an inclination that maybe they have a gambling problem, maybe the conversation needs to come up a little bit sooner.

Again, you might not get a straight answer, but at the same time, at least you tried.

80% of relationships that fail.

fail because of poor communication and whatever it relates to.

So if you can't have a conversation about money or anything, basically, you know, that is a red flag in itself.

So the bigger issue would probably be your communication.

Like if you were intending spending your life with somebody, the road is long.
