How to Talk About Money with Your Partner | 5 Tips

If you’re pondering how to talk about money with your partner, don’t feel alone. Many couples go years without talking about saving, investing, debt, and future financial plans. But that doesn’t have to be your relationship. The earlier you and your partner can get on the same financial page, the better, and that’s exactly what Ali and Josh (@theficouple) are here to talk about.

Ali and Josh have had their fair share of disagreements over money, but once they sat down and discussed their dreams, everything became easier. They’ve used these exact five tips to go from student debt, a lack of investments, and no financial knowledge to (almost) debt-free, with rentals, stock accounts, and a community of fellow FI chasers.

The hardest part of talking about money with your partner is having the confidence to start the conversation. So, if you’re feeling nervous about bringing up the topic, just remember, Ali and Josh had to do the same!
