As you and your partner embark on a new journey in your relationship - such as living together - one of the major issues you may have to face is all about your finances. Money matters may arise in the midst of a relationship, especially if you have clashing views when it comes handling money effectively. It might also become a problem especially if one of you earns much better than the other. The saddest thing that can happen is that you will go off fighting and arguing and even putting your relationship in grave danger just because of money. So before anything else gets out of hand, you can actually try finding a common point when it comes to money matters. There isn't any problem that can't be talked about anyway. If you just pay close attention to the situation and if you put everything else in perspective while setting aside personal biases, then you can definitely come to a peaceful financial agreement for you and your partner. Here are some practical tips which you can use. 1. Open the problem - The first step towards resolving the situation is to recognize that there is a glitch. If both of you continue to believe that everything is alright then nothing would be changed. You and your partner must first sit down and identify the problem and what is it about money that you are having trouble with. You also need to take each other's inputs regarding other things you might be observing about each other when it comes to money matters. This would help give you a clearer view of your lapses. 2. Create financial goals together - Chances are both of you have plans that you want to save up for. It would also be a good idea to plan those goals together. This way, you can get a glimpse of what the other's intentions are and from the start you will already understand why they tend to do the things they do when it comes to money. Creating goals together may also be a way for you to help each other achieve those goals much better. You might even discover that some of your goals are closely tied with each other and you might also want to create goals geared to strengthen your relationship especially if you want to eventually move on to the next level of living together. 3. Try to open a joint account - If you really want to be able to help each other get on the same plane of financial behavior, you might be able to do so by opening a joint account. This way either of you will be more conscious of spending since you are aware that the money you spend belongs to both of you. As individuals, you might also feel some restraint against overspending and impulse buying because you know your more thrifty partner can end up seeing the expenses that you obtain. 4. Split the bill fairly - Make sure that both parties have a hand in paying the bills and that it's also a fair amount of load for the both of you.
