Figuring out your money is tough enough if you’re flying solo. Doing it with your partner ramps up the difficulty level because you're throwing in varied money history, habits, and goals. It can create a lot of friction! Our guests today have a lot of great advice for couples looking to do better with their finances and create a ‘team vibe’ with their partner. If you looked up the definition of ‘power couple’ in the dictionary, you just might see a picture of Doug and Heather Boneparth next to it. Doug has built his own successful financial advisor firm while simultaneously tweeting hilarious memes. Heather is a former corporate attorney and director of business affairs for that firm, Bona Fide Wealth. They’ve written the fabulous new book ‘Money Together’ which launches next week on the 28th, and today we discuss:

  • How understanding individual money histories is crucial for couples
  • Impact of shame around finances
  • Balancing individual and shared goals
  • Creating positive financial vibes
  • Regular money dates 
  • Investing in one area often requires sacrifices in another
  • It's important to recognize the contributions beyond monetary income
  • And plenty more!
