Not sure when to have the “big money talk” in a relationship? Here’s the thing, you should consider having little money talks all the time.
And while the thought of talking about credit scores and savings strategies on a first date may make you want to call for the check and run for the door, you can start picking up context clues very early in a relationship. These clues can give you an idea of whether or not you might be financially compatible with someone.
After all, money changes everything, especially love. Who makes more money? Who pays the cable bill? To have or not having a big wedding or put money toward expensive vacations? We all enter relationships with some financial baggage, real or emotional. How you handle it as a team can really make a difference in making love last.
Everyone has their own financial style and it can help to find someone who matches (or compliments) yours.
