Why Money Talks Go Wrong

Money isn't really about money. It's about security, freedom, values, and how you were raised. When you argue about spending, you're often arguing about something much deeper.

Setting Up the Conversation

Timing matters. Don't bring up money when you're stressed, tired, or in the middle of another conflict. Schedule a specific time to talk finances, maybe a monthly money date with coffee or dinner.

Finding Common Ground

Start with shared goals. Most couples agree on wanting financial security, even if they disagree on how to get there. Build from that foundation.

Using Tools Together

Having a shared view of your finances removes a lot of conflict. When both partners can see the full picture in Spendify, there are fewer surprises and less blame.
