On this episode of the Money-Guy Show, we’re talking about eleven of the most common — and dangerous — financial mistakes we see couples make.
Do you and your other half function as a team? If you’re the financially dominant one, do you include your spouse in all financial decisions? Does your spouse understand why you make those decisions?
We’re covering these topics and more as we dive deeper into how couples can successfully manage their financial lives together.
