More than 3 in 5 Americans (62 percent) in committed relationships keep at least some of their money separate from one another, according to Bankrate\u2019s Financial Infidelity Survey. Separate finances can make it challenging to plan together.<\/p>\n<p>The good news? With the right approach, your finances can become a source of connection instead of conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Enter CRUSH: the five-step process my husband and I use every month to align our money mindset, build wealth and reach our goals together. It\u2019s helped us save enough to retire in our forties, and we teach other couples how to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re just starting out or already earning more as a couple, this approach will help you take intentional, values-based action (and prevent your next money argument). Here\u2019s how to CRUSH your money goals as a team.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"curate\" data-position=\"1\" data-beam-element-viewed data-id=\"br-h2-1-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"C: Curate your accounts together\" data-outcome>C: Curate your accounts together<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to make smart decisions together if you don\u2019t both have access to the full financial picture. Start with the facts: What do you have, and where do you have it? Curating your accounts means getting organized and deciding how you\u2019ll manage your obligations and assets.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourselves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What types of accounts do we have? (checking, savings, credit cards, loans, investments)<\/li>\n<li>What accounts do we need?<\/li>\n<li> <u>What structure works best for us<\/u>: joint, separate or a hybrid?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There\u2019s no one-size-fits-all answer, but you do need to agree on how to share or divide financial responsibility. Lay everything out in a way that allows you to get the full picture at once. This could be a simple spreadsheet or an app that automatically tracks your net worth.<\/p>\n<div data-template=\"insight_box\">\n<p>                 <svg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" focusable=\"false\"><title>Savings Icon<\/title> <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M12 20.985h.183l-.006.015a6.597 6.597 0 0 0 3.96-1.346c.161-.123.317-.252.468-.389A6.81 6.81 0 0 0 19 14.086c0-3.706-2.986-6.728-6.724-6.873a6.191 6.191 0 0 0-1.721.134L9.338 6.263a1.01 1.01 0 0 0-1.074-.182 1.122 1.122 0 0 0-.453.364 1.18 1.18 0 0 0-.223.575L7.4 8.894a6.888 6.888 0 0 0-1.998 2.864h-.86c-.298 0-.541.262-.541.582v3.828c0 .32.585 0 .882 0l1.046 1.36a6.99 6.99 0 0 0 3.162 2.82c.919.435 1.917.65 2.91.637Z\" fill=\"transparent\" \/><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.63 8.72a5.942 5.942 0 0 0 6.167 5.93 6.597 6.597 0 0 1-2.317 2.927 6.603 6.603 0 0 1-3.956 1.179 6.647 6.647 0 0 1-3.394-.86 6.705 6.705 0 0 1-2.495-2.45.604.604 0 0 0-.525-.304H2.717v-3.6h.875a.605.605 0 0 0 .579-.418A5.927 5.927 0 0 1 6.263 8.21a.616.616 0 0 0 .244-.426l.235-2.267L8.348 6.84c.152.122.357.175.548.122a6.188 6.188 0 0 1 2.053-.16 5.908 5.908 0 0 0-.319 1.917Zm.867-3.084a7.796 7.796 0 0 0-2.617.079L7.51 4.58a1.206 1.206 0 0 0-1.72.19c-.136.168-.22.373-.25.601l-.22 2.032a7.07 7.07 0 0 0-2.154 2.922H2.11a.61.61 0 0 0-.609.608v4.817a.61.61 0 0 0 .609.608h1.658a7.874 7.874 0 0 0 1.885 2.02l-.516 2.073a.606.606 0 0 0 .442.738c.045.016.099.016.144.016v.007c.274 0 .525-.19.594-.464l.418-1.683a7.906 7.906 0 0 0 3.775.907h.205l.008.008a7.815 7.815 0 0 0 3.626-.9l.414 1.66c.076.282.32.465.593.465v-.008c.046 0 .1 0 .145-.015a.606.606 0 0 0 .441-.738l-.512-2.054a7.843 7.843 0 0 0 2.658-3.72.602.602 0 0 0 .03-.222A5.947 5.947 0 0 0 22.5 8.72a5.942 5.942 0 0 0-5.935-5.934 5.938 5.938 0 0 0-5.068 2.85Zm.35 3.084a4.721 4.721 0 0 1 4.718-4.717 4.721 4.721 0 0 1 4.718 4.717 4.721 4.721 0 0 1-4.718 4.718 4.721 4.721 0 0 1-4.717-4.718ZM7.534 11.27a.916.916 0 0 1-.913-.913c0-.502.411-.913.914-.913v.008c.502 0 .912.41.912.913 0 .502-.41.913-.913.913v-.008Zm7.784.206h.64v.289a.61.61 0 0 0 .608.608.61.61 0 0 0 .609-.608v-.29c.843-.03 1.521-.772 1.521-1.681 0-.928-.707-1.682-1.575-1.682h-1.103c-.19 0-.357-.213-.357-.464 0-.25.16-.464.357-.464h.453a.606.606 0 0 0 .19 0h1.16a.61.61 0 0 0 .61-.609.61.61 0 0 0-.61-.608h-.646v-.29a.61.61 0 0 0-.609-.608.61.61 0 0 0-.609.609v.29c-.839.034-1.514.774-1.514 1.68 0 .929.708 1.682 1.575 1.682h1.104c.19 0 .357.213.357.464s-.16.464-.358.464H15.317a.61.61 0 0 0-.608.609.61.61 0 0 0 .608.609Z\" \/><\/svg>             <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>                     How to crush this step                 <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Spend one hour together this weekend listing every account you each have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cash accounts<\/li>\n<li>Credit cards<\/li>\n<li>Loans<\/li>\n<li>Investments<\/li>\n<li>Property<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Decide which accounts you\u2019ll manage jointly or separately.

Reaching your financial goals can strengthen your partnership if you don\u2019t leave it to chance and generational trauma. When both people in a relationship feel seen, heard and included in the financial journey, you\u2019re no longer just managing money. You\u2019re building a future together with pooled versus competing resources.<\/p>\n<p>I often work with couples where one person leads and the other follows. Instead, I encourage you to create a shared vision where both of you feel empowered to contribute, grow and support one another on the path to mutual financial freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Start with just one step.<\/p>\n<p>Choose a letter in CRUSH to explore together this month at your next money date. The more you communicate and collaborate, the stronger your relationship \u2014 and your finances \u2014 will become.<\/p>\n<div data-cta-initial data-helpful-cta data-beam-element-viewed id=\"did-you-find-this-helpful\" data-type=\"cta\" data-location=\"article-bottom\" data-position=\"banner\" data-text=\"Did you find this page helpful?\">\n<div>\n<p>             Did you find this page helpful?             <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Help us improve our content<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re feeling like you\u2019re not on the same financial page as your partner, or you don\u2019t understand your partner\u2019s financial habits, you\u2019re not alone.
