Life does come with a lot of accounts files and money. Marriage calls for a lot of money thoughts. Once you get past the dreamy days, financial issues are always at stake for every couple to tackle. If you do not want to be that couple who cribs over every penny spent, you need to read this. Five financial discussions you must have with your man.
Who spends what on the big day?
Gone are the days of teary-eyed pocket-torn fathers of girls. Wedding is about starting a new family, both guy and girl have an equal part in it. So stop nagging customers and have an open discussion about the wedding budget. It is always good to divide it into equal parts.
Hiring a financial advisor
Maybe you already have one or maybe you need one. Either way, ask each other’s opinion, and don’t pop surprises later saying you have a secret deposit with some unknown financer. If both of you have different investment interests, discuss your plans. Every investment has both sides.
Depositing dreams
Every single couple dreams about a space, a car, or a world trip right after they elope. You badly want to achieve them with your partner- then let them know! There should not be a situation in which both parties take different ways. Financial discussions before the wedding will save a lot of trouble.
Dissolving debts
You had a business plan and you did and you lost. You need to let him/her know what went wrong. You cannot keep shut about debts when it comes to them. Maybe your partner will have more brilliant plans to solve it. Who knows! Maybe you made a great choice about them 😉
Monthly family tasks
The last one is the important one. In the beginning, you need to reach a decision about who will drive the family-income car and who will save the fuel. Meaning, who will run the expense and who will make deposits and retirement plans. This set of financial discussions before the wedding can also list out even minute thoughts. Like who will throw parties and who will pay health insurance.
Finally, when money matters are in don’t get the love out.
