Why do married couples see money so differently and how do you avoid letting it become a source of stress?

In this episode of The Wealth Mindset Show, we’re talking about what really drives your financial mindset (hint: it often starts in childhood) and how spouses can work together to build a strong, shared approach to money. Whether you're merging bank accounts or just trying to understand why one of you is a saver and the other’s a spender, this episode's for you!

Here’s what we cover:

How your background shapes your views on money
Saver vs. spender (and what to do if you're opposites)
Should couples combine finances or keep things separate?
Budgeting and goal setting that works for both of you
How to talk about money without it turning into a fight
Planning for the future together: retirement, investing, and more...
