5 Financial Questions To Ask Before Getting Married


Share your views on money before you vow to stay together 'for richer or poorer.'
No one needs to know you started pinning ideas for the wedding after your second date. Planning is a good thing!
<!--more-->
Although money matters aren't nearly as fun as picking out the theme, the colors, the cake flavor or the wedding gown, discussing your philosophies on budgeting is just as important as anything else you plan for your married life ahead. An alarming number of couples eventually break up over money. (Don't be one of them!)

It doesn't have to be boring. On your next date night, make plans to meet somewhere new—a rooftop, the lake, the new lounge downtown—but take some time to hear what your significant other has to say about money. If you're not sure about your Primary and Secondary Money Personalities, take ten minutes and find out with our free, scientific Money Personality Quiz.

Lovebirds; before you say ‘I do’, remember to talk about the money.
Money matters. Don't let any one tell you different. You could set yourself up for major pitfall by not taking the time to talk about money issues before walking down the aisle.
Here are some questions to discuss with your partner

How Do They Budget? 
 If you can live off less and save more, you can achieve bigger goals. Seeing how your partner budgets is essential to your financial health as an a couple. Start out by budgeting something small together, like a vacation months in advance. Or maybe plan the trip as a reward for monitoring monthly expenses, growth of savings, and prompt bill payments.


To Join or Not to Join Credit?
 Couples should talk about whether they prefer joint credit card accounts or to retain their individual ones. Its also an option for each of you to have a separate account and a joint account for joint ventures such as vacations, saving for children’s college, a new home, etc. Note, when joining accounts beware of balance transfer fees.

What are Their Future Money Goals?
 As a couple, adhering to your future financial goals will affect your present actions. If as a couple you are looking to save money, you might cut back on certain expenses such as excess dining out and other recreational activities, in favor of more home-based or free activities. Experts recommend that couples save at least three to six months’ living expenses as a buffer in case of any emergency such as job loss, illness or family emergency.

How Much Do They Owe?
 We all know debt comes from a variety of places, so it’s feasible that your new partner will have racked up some along the way. Once you know the ins and outs of your partners’ debt, it is up to you to make a decision of whether or not to keep separate credit cards and credit card histories or merge them. Many advisors will advise against joining accounts.

If there are questions that you still haven’t asked or answers that your still searching for, don’t hesitate to sit down in front of your financial advisor with your partner. Practicing honest and open communication before your wedding day will only fine-tune the skills for when you two are actually married. Just think of it as good practice.
