Money Insights Poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When it comes to financial compatibility for partnered Canadians:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list default is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"is-style-default default\">91% said it&#8217;s important prospective partners think along the same lines when it comes to spending and saving money.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>85% felt that having similar financial goals and habits was a prerequisite to their healthy, long-term relationships.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>80% believed it was important to speak with a prospective partner about finances before getting involved in a serious relationship.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>62% say the state of a potential partner&#8217;s finances could be a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting boundaries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting clear financial boundaries was also a top priority (81%), with over two-thirds (69%) admitting they would not combine their finances with their partner&#8217;s unless they knew that partner was financially stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you&#8217;re committing to a relationship, you&#8217;re inviting that special someone into your life, along with their finances,&#8221; says Sandra Abdool, Regional Financial Planning Consultant, RBC Financial Planning. \u201cThat&#8217;s a lot of sharing, and as a couple, it&#8217;s important to set clear financial boundaries to make sure you&#8217;re on the same page when it comes to spending, saving and managing your money.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talking with your partner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to talking with your partner about your finances, it&#8217;s not just about what you say, but how often you say it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than three-quarters (77%) of Canadians in relationships reported they speak with their partners about finances at least monthly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list default is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"is-style-default default\">To create shared budgets (45%),<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>To come up with financial goals (41%), and,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>To save together (37%).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile chemistry certainly counts, today&#8217;s couples want financial chemistry and compatibility, too,&#8221; adds Abdool. \u201cBy having frequent and honest conversations about your finances, you&#8217;re well on your way to building a sound financial and long lasting relationship together. Then go a step further \u2013 take time to do a reality check with a financial planner who can offer an outside perspective on financial compatibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile mar-t-hlf mar-b-hlf pad-b-hlf pad-t-hlf pad-l-hlf pad-r-hlf has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-4-background-color has-background\" style=\"grid-template-columns:20% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"111\" height=\"124\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/01\/icon-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91916 size-full\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Take this quiz to learn your financial personality as a couple and to reach your goals together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary primary btn before\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/life-events\/finances-and-relationships\/marriage\/money-matchmaker-are-you-and-your-partner-financially-compatible\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57752-16a8916e\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"button click\" data-dig-label=\"Get Started-https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/life-events\/finances-and-relationships\/marriage\/money-matchmaker-are-you-and-your-partner-financially-compatible\/ \">Get Started<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips to help Canadian couples reach financial and life goals together:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list default is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"is-style-default default\"><strong>Find the budget that\u2019s right for you:&nbsp;<\/strong>Discussing finances and setting clear financial goals and boundaries are important for any relationship.
