For the first time EVER in Honest Women History, we have a topic SO juicy and SO loaded we had to break it into two episodes! This is the second of two episodes all about how to handle money better in your marriage, so go back to last week's episode if you haven't heard it yet (we'll wait!).
Today we get honest about:
- The four money scripts: money avoidance, money worship, money status, and money vigilance.
- The importance of understanding and aligning spending behaviors with personal values.
- Financial infidelity.
- How differences in spending habits can lead to misunderstandings and resentment between partners.
- How open and regular communication about finances is crucial for a healthy relationship.
- How understanding each other's upbringing and attitudes towards money can help create empathy and connection.
- How addressing fears and defining financial security can lead to a better understanding of each other's financial goals and priorities.
- How having a budget and reviewing it regularly can help couples stay on top of their finances and avoid unnecessary stress.
Plus, Andrea and Jessica are WAY more chill about the money topic than last week (see??? Having an honest conversation does wonders for money stress!); Andrea makes a big announcement; and Jess makes a VERY ambiguous sound effect. Did somebody say motor boating??
