209 — The Money Talk Every Couple Needs to Have with Ramit Sethi

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

Do finances cause stress in your relationship? Have you and your partner avoided conversations about money? Or do you find yourselves stuck arguing over small expenses like groceries and takeout?

When it comes to relationships, money is one of the biggest sources of conflict—but it doesn’t have to be. Personal finance expert Ramit Sethi, host of the Netflix series How to Get Rich and bestselling author of Money for Couples, talks about how couples can work together to address money.

Some of the things we talk about are:

• Why over half of couples don’t know their own household income (and how that creates conflict).
• How to create a shared vision of a “rich life” together.
• Why arguing about small expenses is a losing battle (and what to focus on instead).
• A simple framework to start having positive, productive money conversations.
• The importance of guilt-free spending and why financial independence matters for both partners.
