(Matt Monday): The 3 Biggest Money RED F...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode
A few years ago, a top investing firm found that 41% of divorced Gen Xers and 29% of Baby Boomers said they ended their marriage due to disagreements about money.    Given that money can cause so much upset and even break up relationships, why don’t we talk about it more? What if your partner refuses to discuss money or has unhealthy money habits? What if you both have very different incomes and it makes your partner insecure? No matter what question you have about money and relationships, you can’t miss today’s video featuring my good friend—and bestselling author—Ramit Sethi (@ramit).  We go deep into topics such as: 
  • The biggest red flags with money
  • Having conversations about spending on luxuries and dividing finances
  • Dealing with power imbalances between men and women with different incomes
  • Insecurities and shame around money (or lack of it)
  • How to use money to have a rich life and achieve your goals as a couple
And more! --- Order Ramit's new book "Money for Couples" to take control of your finances in your relationships!
