While every couple&#8217;s financial situation is different, there are a handful of mistakes newlyweds are prone to making. To help you start your marriage on sound financial footing, make sure you&#8217;re aware of (and avoid!) these five financial mistakes that newlyweds make:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forgetting to Write Financial Vows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t wait for the glow of &#8220;I do&#8221; to fade before talking finances. Use this opportunity to come up with some financial goals \u2013 both joint and individual \u2013 and the planned timelines for achieving them. Create a spreadsheet or use an online tool to lay it all out on the table: income, debt, assets and personal expenses. Don&#8217;t forget to block out a tax strategy as well. Canadians have many perks available for married couples, from tax credits to sharing tax-free savings products. Then, set a &#8220;Money Date&#8221; once a month to review, revise and make sure you&#8217;re on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiding Financial Baggage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial infidelity can have a lasting effect on marriages. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/money\/2800576\/love-money-by-the-numbers\/\">Money Magazine<\/a>, 22 percent of married couples say they&#8217;ve spent money they didn&#8217;t want their partner to know about. Maybe out of fear of being characterized as &#8220;bad with money&#8221;, or maybe because they didn&#8217;t want their partner to know they&#8217;re an avid collector of rare New Kids on the Block memorabilia. Either way, keeping financial secrets \u2013 be it debt or spending habits \u2013 can be an unnecessary source of tension. Be honest and remember it&#8217;s a partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marrying the Finances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many couples believe tying the knot should include merging bank accounts, don&#8217;t be hasty in marrying the finances. Test out different structures. If both parties have their own source of income, couples can set up multiple saving vehicles as well as a joint account where each partner contributes a certain percentage. The autonomy is a good way to take advantage of savings incentives and practice routine budgeting. As you tackle life&#8217;s milestones be sure to update and move money around as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaning Too Much on One Partner as the Financial Guru<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If one partner has more financial acumen, this can lead to one partner leaning too heavily on the other. One partner may adopt the role of lead number cruncher, but this can be overwhelming, leading to stress or resentment down the line. By allowing one partner to dominate financial decisions, half of the partnership may be in the dark. Try to make sure both parties are equally aware and involved in financial decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Denying When It&#8217;s Time to Ask for Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With all of the life changes that come with marriage, the adjustment period can be overwhelming. Before the wedding, bridesmaids and groomsmen are there to provide emotional support. After the wedding, a couple may need other support. Getting married is a time of transition, and a great time to sit down with professional financial advisor. In addition to helping establish shared goals, keeping the weight of financial decisions balanced between partners often requires an objective third party. Knowing when to ask for help can keep a marriage whole. After all, every partnership needs its supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Andrew Seale is a Toronto-based freelance storyteller fascinated by the influences of place and why we do what we do. @WhenWeDrift<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
