Most couples do not need another argument about money. They need a system they both understand and agree on. When you decide together how bills will be paid, how much you will save and invest, and when you need to discuss a purchase, money becomes easier to manage. The exact numbers may look different in your household. What matters is creating clear rules that help you work toward the same goals. Which one of these rules would help your relationship the most?

Most couples fight about money because they have no system. 1 One joint account for all fixed bills (rent, utilities, insurance). 2 Personal accounts for each of us. No questions asked, total autonomy. 3 We invest and save $3,300 first before touching personal spending. 4 Sunday Money Check-in: 20 minutes to review what came in and what went out. 5 We never use credit we can't pay back monthly. 6 One specific financial goal with a hard deadline. 7 The $50 Rule: We never spend over $50 without a quick conversation first. We don't fight about money because we have a system.
