TALKING ABOUT MONEY CAN CREATE HAPPINESS

A SURVEY showed that couples are 10 times more likely to break up if they think their partner has poor money habits. In fact, money issues are a driving force in 56% of divorces. To keep your relationship ship-shape, it’s crucial to play open cards with your partner. Even if your finances are separate, it is best to be on the same page and have shared goals. Consider the emotional side when having these conversations with your partner, says Farzana Botha, product specialist at Sanlam Savings.
