An Honest (& Fun) Conversation About Lov...

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

What does it take to balance love and money? My magic recipe is communication, honesty (like real honesty), some dashes of fun, and empathy for some else’s feelings. It’s never easy to talk about money in a relationship, but there are some ways to make it easier. Janae and Theo from the podcast Planet Millennial Marriage are here for an open, honest, and laugh out loud conversation of how to balance it all and thrive along the way.

I was a guest this week on Janae and Theo’s podcast Planet Millennial Marriage. I shared my tips and story about how to build a budget as a couple and not fight about money. It was such a great episode, that I thought why not bring them both here to flip the mic and share their takeaways as a real couple trying to balance love and money. Think of this episode as a giant Ask Shannah where we go into what it takes to win at love and money.


What You'll Learn

  • How to balance two styles of handling money in a relationship
  • Ways to communicate to your partner
  • How to define the money roles in your relationship
  • When is the right time to talk about money
  • Janae and Theo's story to finding marriage bliss
