#1 Money Subject Every Couple Must Talk ...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

In this rebook episode, Nicole Middendorf shares the #1 money subject that every couple must talk about.

Money is still a major taboo subject in a relationship—whether you’re on your first date or have been with your partner for multiple years. Money can be confusing and even, let’s just say, uncomfortable to discuss – wouldn’t it just be better if we all had this chip in us that allowed the other person to inherently know our money story without having to say a word.

Nicole Middendorf, a Wealth Advisor and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst with Prosperwell Financial, takes a deeper dive into how we navigate love and money. This fall her fifth book “Who Pays? Navigating Love and Money” will hit bookshelves. Nicole’s life goal is to reduce the divorce rate by helping couples – and especially women – feel less intimidated when talking about money. Yes, Please!

  • What makes money so tough for couples to deal with

  • How to figure out who should pay and whether it matters
