4 Things You Should Definitely Sit Down And Talk To Your Partner About Before Getting Engaged

Some talking points for finances can include:

-Your personal feelings and priorities about money

-What you expect from your partner in terms of finances

-Any debt you both have

-Any investment plans you both have (401K, stocks, etc.)

-Budget expectations

-If you think individual or joint accounts are the way to go

-How much money you both can spend without consulting one other

-The possibility of a prenup

-If you intend to set aside money for children, future plans, retirement, etc.

Anything that remotely has to do with money is worth discussing. If you’ve already had this talk, make sure you set aside some time at least monthly to have a money check-in and address any issues before they become a fight. Better to talk about money too much than not enough.
