Not Really About The Money

   
 1. Money issues are not about money.

• When you do not have access to your own money, you do not have any power in the relationship.
• Money and sex are the two key issues in most relationships.
• Knowing how to handle money is part of growing up.

2. Refuse to be treated like a child – Have your own access to money.

• Do you have to “ask” for whatever money you have? If so, you are being treated like a child.
• Make sure you have one bank account that is just for you. Set up your own personal bank account and put some money in it.
• Make sure this is an account where you are not accountable to anyone.

3. How you set it up in the beginning is usually how it is.

•  Watch how the money is spent. Is he generous? Do you have to report what you spent?
• What you set up at the beginning is what you get in the end.
• Money issues usually surface fairly quickly in a relationship.

4. You need to value your contribution to the relationship – If you don’t, no one will.

• Often at the beginning of a relationship, a division of labor is set up.
• The man works and the woman stays home and takes care of the children.
• Are these positions equal and do they merit equal access to joint funds?

5. Know exactly what money and assets you have – Ask, if you don’t know.

• Information is power.
• Do you know what assets you have or have you left all that business to your partner?
• If you do not know what you are entitled to, what you have, you can never be an equal partner in the relationship.
