Stay with us.

We're back and answering your money questions to help you make smarter financial decisions.

This episode, we're joined by two listeners, Claire and Robbie, who have some questions about how to equitably manage their finances and plan for their retirement as a couple.

Thanks.

Can we start by hearing a little more about your relationship and how you've managed money together so far?

Okay.

And how did you decide what that rent amount is going to be?

Well, I know you have some questions for us about how to equitably share this expense, and we'll get to that in a little bit.

But...

One thing you mentioned when you wrote to us, Claire, was that you two have a pretty notable age gap.

So talk with us about that and whether it's affected the way you guys relate to each other and have managed your finances as you've been together.

Yes.

You're focused on other things that are more important, perhaps.

Tech something something.

Yes.

Yes.

And how much do you each make?

Okay.

So you guys are making about the same?

Yes.
