Merging your finances and having joint bank accounts when you get engaged or married might seem like a good idea. But it turns out that it's actually backed by science as well!
I sat down with Jenny Olson, Assistant Professor of Marketing at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business to discuss her work around all things couples and money, but specifically...
- Combining finances and joint bank accounts.
- The reasons joint bank accounts are beneficial to relationships.
- The Connubial Crucible (aka the first 2 years of marriage).
- Financial Infidelity and the impact on a relationship.
.... and much more.
