Having money conversations with your spouse can be difficult for lots of reasons. The reality is, many of us don't have a lot of practice holding these types of conversations.

When Samantha and I were first married, she let me do my own thing with our money. She trusted me. That sounds great, right? The problem came when I wanted her input on decisions. I'd get frustrated that she had no opinion, and she'd get frustrated with feeling stupid in regards to money.

To help us have better conversations, we came up with a 5-part framework that we believe could help you as well.

In today's episode, we discuss parts 1 & 2:
1. Understanding each other's background
2. Putting together a plan


Next week we'll discuss parts 3 through 5.
