Breaking down our budget, prenup & child support agreement (our "money talk")

Happy Thursday! In today's episode, Harrison and I dive into a conversation we think every couple should have – the all-important "money talk." We discuss how we’re going to structure our budget, prenup (cohabitation agreement in our case 😉), and child support agreement.

I've received tons of DMs about the "money talk" before marriage and the transparency (or lack thereof) in how couples handle their finances (budgeting, joint bank accounts, prenups, etc.). We're breaking down our process, what we've learned, and our final decisions in hopes of normalizing this conversation.
