Financial habits that make relationships last 🔐

Welcome to the first edition of our paid newsletter!

How it works:
🙋 Paid subscribers can send me questions about budgeting, money, economy, running a small business – anything, really. (You can even send exact numbers and budgeting spreadsheets, if you want. And you can leave your answer via voice note if that’s easier for you.)
🫡 I’ll answer your questions with depth and detail

Our first question is from someone I’ll call Femme Husband: 

What are some financial habits that I can share with my partner? How often should we check in with each other? What if my partner spends more money on little tchotchkes than me? Every time we talk about it, we just end up fighting.

Specifics: 
👛 The couple who asked the question wants to cap their spending on miscellaneous items (think: plants, trinkets or prints to decorate the home, resistance bands for workouts, craft supplies) at $275 per month. 
💸 They have a combined income of $6,500 per month after taxes, but live in an expensive city and are both paying off massive student loan debt.
