Are you in a long-term relationship or partnership? If yes, I highly recommend to put two heads together as one, working as a team and tackling personal finances together. It makes the process a little less lonely, intimidating and especially, isolating.
Finances can be though. They can bring out the worst in us: stress, anxiety, fear, discomfort, and alternatively they can make us feel elated, happy, grateful, present.
The psychology of money does exist and I wish people would address it more. When two work together as one, personal finances begin to improve, the burden is less, things become... doable... managable.
So there is my recommendation for the week: tackle your finances together. There is no right, or wrong way to manage money but there are better ways to manage what we have today, and this is where I come in. Signed, Filipina Budget Girl.
