Hello and welcome to Friends That Invest.

You're joined today by your host, Sim.

I'm so excited to have you here.

I'm wildly passionate about all things investing and personal finance.

And in today's episode, we're going to be talking about all things money and relationships.

Specifically, we're going to be talking about what no one taught me when it came to money in relationships and what happens to your money when love enters the picture.

It's been a little bit of a while and this is something we need to get into.

This episode is for every woman that is building her wealth and wants to make sure that love helps and doesn't get in the way.

And that's not something they're hiding from their friends or their family or their colleagues.

That is something they're hiding from the person that they're meant to spend their life with and want to have maybe children with.
