Maxed-out credit cards. Depleted savings. Underfunded retirement accounts. Millions of couples struggle with common financial issues, but instead of looking for solutions, they perpetuate harmful behaviors by bickering, blaming and, in many cases, divorcing. David Bach, author of the best-selling Smart Women Finish Rich, says you’ll never solve your money problems if you view your partner as the enemy. It’s not all your fault, though. Typically, people do not discuss money openly, so individuals may know very little about their spouse’s financial priorities, philosophy and history. Establishing and maintaining an open line of communication is pivotal to sensible financial planning as a couple. You don’t have to agree on everything. You don’t even have to change. You just have to work together. Bach shows couples how to get on the same page.

So does his emphasis on making your relationship – not money – your number one priority. Whether or not you finish rich, at least you’ll be happy.

A couple in sync is capable of devising a plan that will provide long-term security and the ability to enjoy life’s pleasures. Everyone has the ability to design a winning strategy, whether you are just returning from your honeymoon or celebrating your 25th wedding anniversary.
