When Michael and I tied the knot, we made a conscious decision to skip the prenup and combine our finances fully, viewing everything as a collective "ours." This episode of The Real Stuff podcast delves into our personal journey with shared finances and offers a peek into the intricate dance of handling expenses and investments as a united front. We also open the floor to our audience, inviting callers to share their unique financial setups with their partners. From prenuptial agreements and separate accounts to fully combined finances, these stories provide a rich tapestry of how couples manage money together. Above all, we discuss the importance of trust and communication as we explore the many ways couples navigate their financial lives.
