Money Series: How To Understand Your Partner's Money Mindset

Date Smart

08/18/22 • 33 min

Important note: This is the third episode in a series. If you’re just joining us, I urge you to go back and start at the beginning.

What is your partner's money blueprint? The biggest reason behind money fights isn’t the money itself, but the mismatch of the couple's money mindset. How was your partner raised to think about money? What’s important to your partner when it comes to money? What are his or her motivations and fears? These questions address the root cause, not the symptoms.

This podcast series features Rebel Finance School founders Alan & Katie Donegan. They offer a free 10-week finance course on how to master your personal finances. Check it out here: http://rebelfinanceschool.com.

Money Series: What Is Your Money Mindset & How Does It Affect Your Dating Life?

Date Smart

08/11/22 • 24 min

Important note: This is the second episode in a series. If you’re just joining us, I urge you to go back and start at the beginning.
Whether you’re dating or in a committed relationship, understanding your and your partner’s money mindset is one of the most essential skills you’ll learn. Did you know we all have a “financial blueprint”? This blueprint is created and molded in our childhood and is influenced by our family and environment. Two things can happen when creating your blueprint as a child. You see a habit or pattern and you mimic that behavior and adopt it as your own, or you see a habit or pattern and you reject that behavior because you don’t agree with it. And for the truly self-aware, you see a habit and pattern, recognize how it has affected your life, and choose your own path. It all starts with the question, “How are you identical or opposite to either of your parent's money habits and ways of being?”

Date Smart

08/04/22 • 11 min

Have you ever wondered how money psychology impacts your dating life? It turns out that most arguments around money hamper many relationships. Still, most of these conflicts have nothing to do with the numbers themselves and everything to do with the psychology behind them, that is, how we were raised to think about money. In this podcast series, we’ll address the topic of money psychology, how to come to terms with our partner’s money blueprint, and how to reconcile opposing perspectives around money.

In this first episode, I’m sharing my personal story with money and explaining how our financial mindset might be the most important foundation for a relationship because it influences everything that we do. I’ll also introduce my co-hosts for season three: Alan & Katie Donegan from the Rebel Finance School. They offer a free 10-week finance course on how to master your personal finances.

Money Series: Joint Finances & Prenups

Date Smart

09/01/22 • 10 min

Important note: This is the fifth episode in a series. If you’re just joining us, I urge you to go back and start at the beginning.

If you’d like to explore the idea of joint finances and/or crafting a prenup, this episode is for you. For many, these are touchy topics, but they don’t have to be. Even if you decide not to combine your finances or get a prenup, I urge you to at least discuss these topics with your partner. The idea is to eliminate any taboo and create a safe space to openly discuss money with our partners.

Understanding is the ultimate step in a relationship. And when it comes to money psychology, it is a step that the later it’s taken the more damage it creates in the relationship. When partners reach a point of mutual understanding, they can take control and work toward reconciliation between opposing “money blueprints.” So, how do we do this? Listen to find out.
