Money is one of the most important causes of family conflicts and discord in relationships, leading to divorce. But the root of the problem is not money. Quarrels and conflicts in the family arise due to the lack of open and honest communication between spouses, which in turn leads to an acute inconsistency in life priorities and a lack of mutual understanding. If there is no agreement in the family, then problems are not far off. I’ll say right away - there is no right or wrong wrong way to manage family finances, if this method is acceptable to both spouses. But if one side actively imposes its approach to managing the family’s money, then this will be clearly wrong (and sooner or later it can lead to serious disagreements). The point here is that any of our beliefs (including regarding money) are an integral part of the general “picture of the world” or, in other words, our worldview. And by severely breaking the pattern of our spouse’s usual life, we make money (in fact, we ourselves grow ) in his person is his worst enemy. How to prevent money from spoiling relationships in the family (with your significant other, children and parents): 1) This situation should be approached very carefully. Do not selflessly “wave your saber.” After all, you are not at war - you and this person will have to live together for the rest of your life (as well as with other members of your family: children, parents and immediate relatives). And, moreover, do not “cut in the heat of the moment,” so as not to force your soulmate to defend themselves and defend their position using “heavy artillery.” 2) Talk, talk and talk about money Many of us find it incredibly difficult to talk about money. However, you must find the strength and courage to have such a conversation. I would encourage you to find a time to talk about money when your spouse is not stressed or very tired. You should both be well rested and calm, so that you don’t “break the woods” in the heat of the moment. 3) “Financial cushion” - a necessity, not a luxury The primary goal of your family finances should be the formation of a “nest egg” of sufficient size. Everyone in life has ups and downs, dismissal and transfer to another position, household breakdowns and unexpected illnesses. It is for this unforeseen event that you need a so-called “financial cushion” that can support your family with money for 9-12 months. 4) Reasonable expenses and “long-term” goals When it comes to spending the money you earn, countless temptations and urgently necessary expenses immediately arise. Long-term planning of your family life can help you avoid instant emptying of your family “little egg”: Where and how do you plan to live in 10-15 years? Where will your children and grandchildren study? What level of material well-being do you expect? What size should your assets be? and investments to guarantee the desired level of financial wealth? Answering these long questions will help you prioritize your short-term spending and investments. Make sure right now that your daily spending is in line with what is truly important to your family.
