Money For Couples (ePub)

From bestselling personal finance author Ramit Sethi, here is a definitive book about a defining challenge for tens of millions of people: navigating the tricky waters of money in a romantic relationship. Drawing on Sethi's experience working with couples, this book will help readers go from frustration to joy as they get financially aligned with their partners.

A reader will begin by knowing thyself: identifying which of the five most common Money Patterns (partnership, safety, growth, impulsivity, avoidance) they exhibit and how those deeply instilled attitudes about money affect their relationship. They will then design a Rich Life vision with their partner and start to have the frank but essential real-talk money conversations we too often avoid or ignore until tensions are out of control. After crunching the numbers and assessing their financial health, readers will create a practical financial plan to make their Rich Life a reality, learn to make financial changes along the way, and ultimately build a money routine (i.e. a monthly money meeting that you will even look forward to).

Packed with enlightening (and juicy) real-world stories, answers to the most common questions (e.g. "What if my partner makes more/less than me?"), helpful money planning templates, and step-by-step scripts for navigating touchy conversations, the book will help readers become competent both as financial managers and as kind, caring, and open communicators with their partners.
