Financial collaboration in partnerships is a topic I’ve been really interested in lately, so I really valued your perspective on this. The idea of meeting your partner where they’re at and making money conversations more approachable really resonated with me. I especially appreciated the point about how financial teamwork isn’t just about splitting tasks but about ensuring both partners feel empowered and informed. Thanks for sharing these insights!
Let your nonfinancial partner drive. Just like you need to eventually let your teen sit behind the wheel, you have to let your nonfinancial partner drive by holding the laptop and moving around any financial sites where you have your money or, better yet, have them learn to move around your own spreadsheet entering numbers and formulas. Then they start to own it themselves and a real conversation can ensue.
