Helpful, Actionable, and Supportive
The topic of money can be fraught as it is, let alone in the context of a romantic partnership. The partners may have different relationships with money, different triggers, and different goals, among other differences, all of which can challenge even the strongest relationship. Fortunately, author Jackie L. Pierce is here with a terrifically written and thorough book. It is a must-read.
Pierce covers a breadth of topics, including understanding your and your partner’s respective relationships with money, questioning your assumptions that lead to your relationship with money and making a positive mental change, how to communicate about money and reach shared goals, ways to align your investment approaches, how to talk about and plan for retirement and your children’s educational expenses, ways to managing debt, and how to create an appropriate division of financial responsibilities. Throughout, Pierce emphasizes introspection, gaining perspective concerning your own thoughts and beliefs, active listening without judgment of your partner’s thoughts and beliefs, and avoiding shame and blame. These approaches are combined with detailed practical steps. The tone is supportive and empathetic, and the narration is encouraging.

Super engaging listen!
This was a great book, an easy listen and fantastic tool to share with your spouse. The nature of the book is informative but it also offers plenty of interactive experiences for both partners to delve into this work together. Being on the same page financially is SO important in a relationship (especially when living under the same roof) so this book can be a precious relationship enhancing tool.

Practical
This book acknowledges the influence of gender, culture, and socioeconomic factors on financial dynamics, urging couples to confront systemic inequalities and strive for equity in their financial decision-making. The financial insights on things like budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt are clear, accessible and practical. I found the book thought-provoking.

Such an Interesting Listen
It is said that one of the biggest causes for divorce is money disagreement and financial burden. Producing an audiobook that isn't just about personal finance, but it is geared towards couples to help reduce fights and create goals together, is a tremendous idea. So, I had to give it a listen and I found it so interesting and helpful, and I just love it. I really loved the Money Mindset Quiz to take together to help you both gain a better understanding of each other's thoughts on money and finance. Chapter 4 on communicating about money without fighting and shaming each other is such an important chapter in my opinion. I really enjoyed the case studies of other couples' stories as well to bring it all into perspective. A great book for all couples!
