Getting married
If marriage is in your future, you have more financial issues to think about than just paying for the wedding. One of the big steps that married couples tend to take is merging their finances: pooling their money for common expenses and buying and owning property together. Sometimes couples have different views on money, including how it should be managed, spent, saved, and invested. You’ll have to make some decisions about what you’ll share, how you’ll share it, and what elements of your financial lives you’ll keep separate, if any. It’s important that you figure out together a way to handle your finances that works for you and which feels fair to both of you.
