Is it Important for a Couple to Have the same Set of Mind in Terms of Financial Matter?

         A couple that is compatible with regards to their finances or let say with the same set mind is very rare to find it for now. It is because some couples do not give time to talk about it, some are lack of idea and not aware about their financial situation. In addition, sometimes one of them doesn't have interest to talk about it and just say “Ikaw na bahala”.  But often this financial matter becomes the reason to have an argument and misunderstanding between a couple. Then, later on sometimes if not settled, it ends up in a worse case. That’s why this financial matter must be taken seriously by a couple and not to be neglected to talk about it.  

       Well, it is common for us that we let our wife handle this matter.  We just give our salary to her and let her drive the wheel to budget all the expenses and saving as well. This is good if one of you doesn't have any idea how to do it, but it is much better if we have a companion than doing it alone and the best companion is your spouse. It is said “Two is better than one”. A Couple should have both Financial aware with the same set of mind in handling their money.  It is vital for a couple to have both one goal and understanding about their financial situation. They must discuss each other what is their goal, how to achieve this goal, how they will plan to budget their income and make a saving and all matters regarding their financial. Without discussing and planning it in the end not only your financial will suffer, but your relationship too.

Sometimes, I know you can’t avoid disagreement, but the secret here, avoid saying something that could make offend for both of you.
