Navigating Love And Money

Money and love can be a strange mix. It can feel like lots of unspoken rules and pitfalls start popping up when your emotional and financial lives come together. That’s true even when things go smoothly. But what if they don’t? Amy James, a Legal & General Product Manager, joins Kia Commodore to share how she navigated this journey. When Amy and her partner Dan decided to settle down together, he revealed that he’d built up some pretty big debts. That was hard enough for him to admit. Sorting it all out and getting to a much better financial place was even more of a challenge. Amy tells their story, explains how everything changed again when they had a child and talks about how they manage their money today. She also shares some excellent tips for talking through difficult financial situations with your partner.
