6. KNOW YOUR LANE
As a couple each of you has your own strengths and weaknesses. Know them and be honest with them. Who is the cheap one of the two of you? Who is the spender? Which of you is the most organized? Once you have discussed your skill sets, then start the process of giving assignments.
- Who pays the bills?
- Who does the shopping?
- Who keeps track of the budget?
- Who is in charge that your investment/retirement strategy is being implemented correctly? Do you both do it?
- Who keeps the list of the financial mistakes you have made to be sure you don’t make those financial mistakes again? Bring this up at your regular meeting.
