Money talk with your spouse-to-be

In a solid relationship and wondering how to approach the tricky topic of money? About to get married and flustered over joint finances and complex contracts?

Maybe it’s time to take the proverbial leap and have your first-ever visit to a financial advisor as a couple. It can be helpful to have an intermediary on hand.

Discussing money can make us feel vulnerable and cause anxiety. An advisor can help with mitigating these fears and help partners to be empowered to vocalise their thoughts, feelings, frustrations.
