Have you ever wondered if you are financially compatible with your partner? This compatibility discussion actually goes beyond everyone's financial situation, so take a look at the following questions.
Financial compatibility as a couple exists when your way of thinking about important money-related decisions is aligned with your partner's.
1.
Should we buy or rent an apartment? Which one will we choose? How much credit will we get to avoid being stuck with the monthly installment?
2.
What are we going to do for the holidays this year?
3.
Do we need a car or two? Will we get them new or used? What kind?
4.
How much should we spend every day? Will we take the children to private courses/schools? What activities do they need?
Even small decisions about money indicate whether or not you are financially compatible:
1.
Shall we have coffee/lunch at home or outside?
2.
How much money do we have available to spend on our birthdays or anniversaries? What about gifts for friends?
3.
What is the quota we need to buy new clothes, phones or hobbies we have?
After reading and answering these questions, you'll find it easier to understand if you and he/she are compatible when it comes to decisions involving money. Also remember that money topics are discussed with great emotion, and financial incompatibility predicts instability in the relationship.
