In my own case, I still remember exactly where I was when I talked to my now husband about money.

And it was not a straightforward conversation.

It was like, I asked him how much he made and he was like, that's private.

And I was like, this is my entire job.

Like

what do you mean it's private?

And he was like, you know, I've grown up where we don't talk about our salaries.

It's just, it's not important.

It doesn't always lead to good things.

And therefore I'd like to keep it private.

And that was really interesting because I share my salary with the world.

Like I'm so forthcoming and I had to understand where he was coming from.

What has worked really well for us and what I've seen has worked for other couples is sitting down together and making sure that you have the same goals and

and making sure that you can work towards those goals.

So some questions that I like to ask was, what is something that you've dreamed of owning together?

Should we catch up regularly to talk about our money?

What are your biggest financial worries as a couple?

Are you scared that it will all go away?

Are you scared that we won't reach our dreams?

Are you scared that you won't get your dream car?
