Marriage is supposed to be a partnership, and that includes your money.

Both spouses deserve a say in the budget, access to the finances and a plan they're working toward together.

This call is heartbreaking because it's about so much more than money. It's about respect, trust and being on the same team.

This is such a heartbreaking situation.

When someone you trust takes advantage of you financially, it can be SO overwhelming to figure out what to do next.

Pulling your credit report, freezing your credit and figuring out which debts are actually yours are important first steps toward getting things sorted out.

This is such a difficult situation, and my heart really goes out to her.

When your financial security is tied to someone else, the thought of starting over can feel SO overwhelming. But staying in a relationship because you're afraid of what life might look like financially isn't the answer.

You deserve honesty, stability and the opportunity to build a future you feel good about.

You don’t have to date someone who handles money exactly like you do.

What matters is whether you share the same values and are both willing to listen, grow, and get on the same page.

A spender and a saver can absolutely work. You just need to agree on where you’re going together.

I need to know who you agree with on this one 😂

If your financial situation changed between your kids’ weddings, would you give them the same amount or give based on what you could afford at the time?
