1/9(Tue)Money and Relationships Host: Liwen
Hello, dear Yoyos! This is Liwen Chen. I will be the host for the meeting on Tuesday night, January 9.
This time let’s talk about “Money and Relationships”.
If you’ve ever been in a relationship for very long, especially if you are married or are living together, I can almost guarantee that you’ve had a money fight.
One of the biggest causes of problems in relationships is differences in values, goals and habits when it comes to money, and especially communication about money issues.
Money can’t buy you love, but it sure can tear it apart.
Please read the article. If you don’t have time, just read “Habit No.1~No.7”.

7 Money Habits That Secretly Annoy Your Spouse
By Cameron Huddleston
Here are seven money habits that commonly annoy spouses:
Habit No. 1: Spending Too Much
Habit No. 2: Being a Tightwad
Habit No. 3: Refusing to Participate in Financial Decisions
Habit No. 4: Giving the Kids Too Much
Habit No. 5: Taking Too Much Risk with Investments
Habit No. 6: Giving Money to Others
Habit No. 7: Talking About Your Finances to Others
Questions for discussion:
Session 1
Q1. What did your parents teach you about money? Have your parents’ money habits influenced yours? How?
Q2. If you are getting married, do you want a joint bank account for regular expenses and separate accounts for personal spending? Or do you want everything to go together? If you are married, how are you managing your money?
Q3. Compare with your partner (i.e., the spouse, boy/ girlfriend), are you a spender or a saver? Which spending habit of theirs do you find least tolerable? For example: Buying things without thinking it through; Lying about their spending.
Session 2
Q4. When do you think parents should stop supporting their children financially?
Q5. Your child wants to borrow money from you to start their own business. The business has no guarantee of success. Will you lend your only savings to them? If not, how do you say no without hurting their feelings?
Q6. Have you ever given large amounts of money to your sibling? What would be your spouse’s reaction if you told them that you had just lent one million dollars to your brother or sister?
Q7. In this article, there are 7 money habits that can annoy your partner. Which one do you think would damage your relationship the most?
