Tips On How To Avoid Fight In
Relationships Regarding Money

2. If you plan to talk about money, always air
your feelings first. Otherwise, negotiations
will always break down.

3. If you can’t deal with
the pressure of
speaking face to
face, start small. Write
down your feelings so
you can more clearly
articulate them with
your partner.

4. HERE ARE SOME IDEAS YOU CAN
TRY WITH YOUR SPOUSE OR
YOUR BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND:

5. 1. Find a non-stressful
time when money is not
a loaded issue
(definitely NOT tax
season) and when you
can be alone.

6. 2. Take turns sharing your
childhood memories about
money. How did your
parents save it, spend it, talk
about it? How did they deal
with allowances? How did
that make you feel and how
does it affect you today?

7. 3. Share your old
hurts, resentments
and fears about
money.

8. 4. Mention your concerns and fears about
your partner’s money style. Then
acknowledge what you admire about their
methods and what you secretly envy.

9. 5. Share your hopes
and dreams. Talk
about your goals for
the future, short and
long-term.

10. 6. Consider making a
shared budget or a
spending plan together
that meets the hopes and
the goals that have come
up on your list more than
once. Start with areas of
common ground.

11. 7. Set a time to have
the next money talk.
Aim for weekly
conversations in the
beginning, then
monthly ones.
