@suketupatel: Combining finances isn’t automatically the “next step” in a relationship 👀💰 There are times when combining your money can make a TON of sense: 💍 You’re married and building a life together 🎯 You’re aligned on your financial goals 💵 You’re both transparent about money 🤝 You see money as a tool to accomplish your goals together But there are also times when you might want to WAIT: 🚩 There’s debt that hasn’t been fully discussed 🚩 One person has unhealthy spending or money habits 🚩 You’re constantly fighting about money 🚩 You don’t actually know what’s happening with each other’s finances Combining bank accounts doesn’t magically make you financially compatible. Have the uncomfortable money conversations FIRST. Are your finances combined, separate, or somewhere in between? 👇 #finance #money #marriedlife #relationships
