Students, newcomers, couples, retirees, parents and those starting over all face different money challenges, but there\u2019s one thing that\u2019s common \u2013 talking about them can make all the difference. RBC\u2019s new video series \u201cThe Drive\u201d aims to make these real-life conversations more approachable, bringing everyday Canadians together, to share in the dialogue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, Jesse Jones drives through Mississauga, Ontario with three passengers who chat about money in relationships \u2013 from dating to marriage and the stages in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are \u2013 or ever have been \u2013 in a long-term relationship, it may not surprise you that money is the number one thing couples fight about, and one of the leading causes of divorce. Because let\u2019s face it, money can be a touchy and highly emotional topic at the best of times \u2013 and if you and your partner are on different pages when it comes to your finances, common ground can feel impossible to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But love and money can coexist peacefully, even when you and your partner bring different life experiences, opinions, habits and bank balances to the relationship. Here\u2019s how you can build a positive financial future together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-consider-the-merits-of-a-joint-bank-account\">1. Consider the merits of a joint bank account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many financial experts firmly believe that married couples should have a joint bank account. Recognizing that not all relationships are the same, however, it\u2019s difficult to \u2018dictate\u2019 this approach across the board. But there is some upside to sharing accounts worth considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a joint account used to cover everyday expenses can eliminate questions about who is paying for what and help you manage rising costs (i.e., rent, groceries, utilities) together. And, it can help you divide up financial responsibilities equitably. For instance, if one of you makes 60% of your total household income, that person could make 60% of the contributions to the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, many couples have a joint account and separate accounts, which they maintain for personal purchases. So, you can have your (wedding) cake and eat it too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-embrace-and-respect-your-differences\">2. Embrace \u2013 and respect \u2013 your differences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What if one of you is a saver and the other a spender? Automatic recipe for disaster on the money front? Not so fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time you enter a long-term relationship, chances are that you have already established some economic independence, along with some savings, some debt and some distinct money habits. And chances are, they won\u2019t align perfectly with those of your partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start life together on the right financial footing, it\u2019s best to understand where you differ in terms of your approach to money, respect where the other is coming from, and work together to find a way forward that works for the both of you. The key is to listen without judgement \u2013 neither of you is \u201cwrong\u201d in their approach to money. Just different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-set-financial-goals\">3. Set financial goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to get on the same financial page is to set goals that matter to both of you. Whether it\u2019s saving for a trip, a car, a home or something else meaningful, having common goals can keep you focused financially and in step with your partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-talk-it-out\">4. Talk it out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most important step you can take to achieve financial harmony with your partner is to communicate openly about your money ups and downs. Whether you\u2019re dealing with debt, getting a raise or worried about your budget, having open and honest \u2013 and regular \u2013 conversations about money can keep conflicts to a minimum. While you might not always agree about money, if you make talking about it a normal, regular thing, your differences will likely get resolved faster and cause less strain on your relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/life-events\/finances-and-relationships\/marriage\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-94582-c44549f9\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Read more\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Read more<\/a> on how to share your finances, set goals and make your money work harder for you both. \u00a0<\/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.
