Why does money matter?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💰" title="Geldsack" aria-label="Emoji: Geldsack">

When two people get together & make money decisions, it is possible sometimes individual needs have to be forgone for the collective good.

Money becomes a joint effort as a relationship moves forward. Here are 5 reasons why money matters.
1. Financial accountability

Both parties in a #relationship should play a role in personal finances.

It is common for 1 person in a relationship to take on more financial responsibilities. Still, both should onboard plans which must be communicated before setting it in action.
2. Deciding on how to split up bills

Different bills may need different ratios of splitting up, and this should be carefully dedicated.

This may seem like it’s taking the romance and trust out of the relationship, but it is crucial to make sure to decide in advance.
3. Unexpected need to support your partnerhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🆘" title="Quadratisches SOS" aria-label="Emoji: Quadratisches SOS">

It is completely fine to help out your partner in times of need.

However, it& #39;s important that it doesn’t happen extremely often, that it becomes expected of you to carry the relationship financially.
4. Financial priorities

You need to make sure that both of you are on the same page when it comes to routine financial decisions, like your monthly budget or your investment goals.

The mismatch in priorities is harmful, & while 2 or 3 instances might impact your relationship.
5. Learning each other’s #Investment strategieshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📊" title="Balkendiagramm" aria-label="Emoji: Balkendiagramm">
