Ten money tips for couples Nigerians Nigeria
When couples are dating, it feels as though love will smoothen out any difficulties; time usually tells a different story and money is often at the root cause of friction. One of the things that will determine your success as a couple is the way you handle your finances. Here are ten tips to help your money relationship along.You would do well to consider having the money conversation fairly early and certainly once your relationship appears to be leading to a joint future.
You do not need to have identical views on money to be able to build a successful future together, but if you have some understanding of how your partner views money, you can adjust, adapt, accommodate or resolve the money issues. Financial compatibility encompasses attitudes to setting goals, budgeting, borrowing, spending habits, saving and investing.Action speaks louder than words; there will be some traits that you can deduce just from your partner’s lifestyle.
If you are just starting out together, this may include saving towards your wedding unless your parents are willing and able to foot the bill, renting your first home, or buying a car. If you are already married with a young family, goals tend to be saving for your children’s education, buying property etc.Successful financial management was never meant to smack of drudgery and tedium.
Your financial life will be a life-long journey. If it is approached with a spirit of sharing and support, you have a better chance at a fulfilled life in partnership. Considering money matters together provides a great opportunity not only for strengthening the relationship but also for fulfilling and celebrating mutual goals with a sense of direction and purpose.
