Consumer Tip

Financial stress can take a terrible toll on relationships – in fact, money is the issue that couples argue about the most, and a huge percentage of divorces result from financial troubles.

To improve the financial health of your relationship, plan your short-term and long-term financial goals as a couple. Draw up a budget together and update it regularly; once a month at least. This is an empowering exercise that will help both partners to stay equally involved.

Keep your own separate bank accounts, as well as a joint account. This means you have some money of your own to spend or save independently, while pooling the rest of your money together to cover major living expenses.

Lastly, remember that money is just a tool at the end of the day. It reflects what you can afford, but it’s not a reflection of who you are as a person!

“The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.”

– Neale Donald Walsch, American author and screenwriter

These are great words for you (and your partner) to live by! Make sure you take care of yourself and cultivate an all-round healthy and happy life, rather than waiting for the right person to come along and do it for you.
