discuss How can we prevent financial disagreements in households?

[Ashake]

In order to avoid financial disagreements, my partner and I go through thorough discussions. We have regular budget meetings discussing expenses and income. We create a shared spreadsheet for the budget to ensure transparency and shared accountability. It does not bring any financial stress on us at all and it improves our relationships with each other through cooperation.

Financial disagreements, from my opinion, can sometimes come from deeper issues like trust. To avoid disagreement, couples should begin discussing their financial values, goals, and expectations early on. They should be able to adjust the budget jointly on a constant basis so that the two of them remain aligned in financial responsibilities.

I recommend a balanced budget to cover bills. This will help to keep a watch while appreciating every progress made in terms of the financial contribution made by both partners.

I do two three things to prevent financial conflicts in my household -

1. Maintain a common expense account in which both me and my partner my contribute equally.
2. Plan our expenses on a weekly basis and ensure that we use the money in common expense account for all our needs.
3. The remaining part of our income - may be used as per ones own wishes including all forms of investments.
