A couple’s guide to financial planning


Talking about money isn’t always easy, but it is the secret ingredient to building a life you both love. This February, we’re looking at how couples can sync their strategies to build a stronger future together.

Whether you are newly engaged or planning for retirement, here are a few ways you can strengthen your financial relationship:

  • Start the conversation. Open communication is the foundation of any strong partnership. Set aside time to discuss your individual habits, shared values, and long-term dreams to ensure you’re both moving in the same direction.

     

  • Sync your strategies. From buying a first home to planning for retirement, coordinate how you manage joint expenses and individual accounts. Read the full article on a couple’s guide to financial planning to explore effective ways you can maximize your combined wealth.

     

  • Schedule a joint financial review. Navigating finances as a duo can be complex, but expert advice can help you create a roadmap that works for both of you. Book a complimentary consultation today with an Educators financial advisor to get personalized guidance: https://bit.ly/4rj7azg
