In her most recent book, Women With Money, HerMoney CEO Jean Chatzky asked hundreds of women: “What do you want from your money?” Although womens’ answers were all over the map, they were all some form of safety and security. Would men say the same? Probably not, because we know that in general, women and men see money differently.
With that in mind, this week we’re exploring how you and your partner can get on the same page when it comes to talking about money — even if you’re coming from completely different places. Scott Rick, author of “Tightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships,” explains why we’re so attracted to our money opposites and how we can better understand each other this Valentine’s Day.
In Mailbag, we hear from a listener who doesn’t mix finances with her husband and is wondering what steps she needs to take to ensure she understands their financial picture. Another listener is moving in with her partner and wants to draw up a cohabitation document. In our money tip of the week, why we should all be taking a “financial health day” – especially during tax season!
