Money and relationships intersect on myriad levels. Our behavior around finances reflects our beliefs, values, and priorities—and, the same could be said about our behavior around relationships!

Certified Financial Consultant Veronica Grant joins Elliott and me to discuss dating, relationships, and money.

As Veronica puts it, “We don’t want to bring bank statements to a first date, but it’s important to gather information about financial choices and habits early on to be sure your values align in this all important domain. 

Moreover, according to research in the journal, Family Relations, couples’ arguments regarding finances are most predictive of divorce, so it’s critical we learn about each other’s spending patterns before we walk down the aisle!

Specifically, Veronica, Elliott, and I delve into:

• Non-invasive questions to ask—even on a first date!—that will give you a sense of your date’s financial choices and habits. 
• What to do if you realize you’re not aligned on money matters.
• Money and power dynamics in relationships.

All too often, we fail to acknowledge the profound impact of money on love and love on money. Join us to learn more!
