Check In With Eachother Monthly
Maintaining your household’s healthy finances isn’t a one-and-done deal. This is why many therapists suggest hosting monthly check-ins with each other to make sure you remain on the same page.
When partners check in with one another, they should go over their current financial status and discuss any big purchases or investments made since the last check-in. See if there are any outstanding bills that need to be settled and plan for any upcoming expenses.
They should also examine their budget to ensure they stay within their limits and update their objectives to align with any changes since the last time they discussed the matter.
If you do this around the same time each month, you’ll be able to nip money troubles in the bud before they become significant issues in your relationship.
