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.

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

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?”
