Key Takeaway
Couples who get on the same financial page build significantly more wealth than those who avoid money conversations. Have the 'money talk,' align your values, create a joint financial plan, and automate your path to a rich life together.
The Review
David Bach addresses the #1 source of relationship conflict — money — with a practical nine-step guide for couples who want to build wealth together. The revised and updated edition covers values-based financial planning for two, the money conversation couples must have, joint vs. separate accounts, retirement planning as a team, and how to protect your financial future through proper estate planning and insurance. Bach's insight that couples who plan together build 30% more wealth than those who do not gives urgency to getting on the same financial page.
