192: Financial Compatibility, Conflict, & Abuse in your Relationship with Nikki Tucker
Is money a main source of tension and conflict in your relationship? If so, you and your partner might not be financially compatible. Money is one of the leading causes of divorces today, and while we tend to focus on other types of compatibility with our partner, financial compatibility and intimacy is one important factor that we often ignore and neglect. So how do you know if you and your partner are financially compatible and what do you do if you're not? Look no further than this week's episode of The Money Love Podcast where I'm talking with Nikki Tucker, a certified divorce financial analyst, and founder of The FIIRM Approach. Nikki works with women who are preparing for divorce + post divorce & are ready to prepare for their new financial life. Nikki and I break down the concept of financial compatibility (what it is and how to know if you and your partner are financially compatible), what your money story is and why it's so important to uncover both your own and your partners money story, the red flags signaling financial abuse in your relationship, prenups and why you need one, how a good marriage and a good divorce are connected, and how to move forward if you and your partner are not financially compatible. This conversation is value packed and a must listen regardless of what stage you're in in your relationship. You can connect with Nikki and The FIIRM Approach using the links below. Enjoy!
