What if talking about money with your partner felt good? Ramit Sethi, host of Netflix's How to Get Rich and bestselling author of I Will Teach You to Be Rich, has written the definitive book on money and relationships. From personal finance juggernaut Ramit Sethi, here is the definitive book about a defining challenge for millions of people: navigating the tricky waters of money in a serious relationship. Drawing on Ramit's deep experience working with thousands of couples, this book will help readers go from financial frustration to joy and possibility as they finally discover a way to connect over money.
Ramit's 10-step program addresses the common money issues in relationships: how to stop fighting over money; how to get both partners to participate in the finances; how to handle the situation when one partner is a saver and the other a spender; and how to take control of too much debt. There are no boring budgets or restrictive plans in this book. Readers begin by identifying their "Rich Life"-a vision of the kind of amazing life you want to live with your partner-including word-for-word scripts to have these conversations together.
They are then gently guided to analyze their own spending and understand their money psychology: why they see money differently than their partner, how their childhood affects their view of money, and how to eliminate the day-to-day money fights. Packed with juicy, enlightening real-world stories, answers to the most common questions (how much to invest, how to teach children about money, whether to sign a prenup), and step-by-step scripts for navigating tricky conversations, Money for Couples helps readers become competent both as financial managers and as kind, caring, and open communicators with their partners. Your relationship is too important for guilt, resentment, or fighting over £20 purchases.
This book will show you how to use your money to live a more adventurous, spontaneous, and generous life-together.
