Ep. 389: Money Talks in an Unmarried Relationship - a podcast by Danny-J Johnson & Jill Coleman
from 2023-11-29T19:06:14.906478
There’s a societal expectation that when you get married, you merge your finances. So what happens to couples in long term, committed relationships without marriage? Finances are a deeply personal, and oftentimes tricky, subject to talk about. Everyone has different money rules and expectations that affect how we split expenses and costs with our partners. Throw in the unreliable income of entrepreneurship and things get even stickier. There’s no “right way” to deal with money, but there’s never a wrong time to have an open conversation about it with your partner—whether you’re married or not.
