In today's episode, we’re diving into the often awkward topic of money, especially when moving in with your partner. Why is it so hard to talk about finances? Many of us weren't taught about money, and there's often a lot of shame or embarrassment tied to it. I’m not a financial professional whatsoever, but for some reason I get a lot of finance questions from my audience so decided to dive into it. We'll discuss key conversations you need to have: how much you each make, your credit scores, budgeting, and how to split expenses. Whether you’re a 50:50 kinda person (you know my stance on that), one person covering everything, or a percentage-based approach, we’ll explore what might work best for you. We’ll also cover the pros and cons of joint accounts, and avoiding feeling financially taken advantage of. Plus, we'll share tips on understanding each other’s spending habits and ensuring both partners feel secure. ⁠Alo Moves - Wellness On Demand ⁠ CONNECT WITH KOKO ⁠https://www.instagram.com/kokobeaute/⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@kokobeaute⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/boujeebestfriend⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://boujeebestie.com⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://m.youtube.com/@KokoBeaute

So here’s the deal—everyone says these years are supposed to be the best of your life, but let’s be honest, they can be pretty tough.
