367. Why money deeply shapes our relationships ft. Jack Howard

Money and love: the two things we stress about most in our twenties, and yet we rarely talk about how deeply connected they are. In this episode, I’m joined by Jack Howard, Head of Money Wellness at Ally, to unpack the psychology of money in our relationships and how it shapes who we date, how we fight, and how we build a life together.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why money and love are so deeply linked
• Spender vs. saver dynamics and why opposites so often attract
• Why we emotionally spend?
• What’s the deal with prenups?
• Is it worth having an expensive wedding?
• When to get joint bank accounts?
• How to talk about money WELL!

If you’ve ever argued about money with a partner, avoided talking about it, or worried you’re “bad” with finances, this episode will give you language, tools, and a lot of reassurance that you’re not alone.
