  • S8. Episode 8: Money Management for a Thriving Relationship
    Dec 20 2024
    Join Corey and Tracy as they ponder the intricacies of “money” in thriving relationships. They share about their own experiences, where Tracy’s visceral reaction to having a shared bank account with a partner and Corey’s exasperation of having to Venmo half the utilities each month without one serve as yet another reason the two of them are not in a relationship! What they do agree on is that money and trust are synonymous, building wealth at a young age is vital, how people handle their finances is usually a reflection of how they navigate life, financial independence during a relationship is key, and that communication early on is critical to learning whether you are financially compatible. Most of all, feeling financially safe is fundamental to a thriving relationship. And, if that isn’t enough, you get to learn more about Tracy’s credit card points and impromptu purchase of a whole home filtration system and Corey’s methodical process for buying a lamp!
