Join Zach Teutsch of Values Added Financial for a guided discussion and exploration of how and when to combine finances.  After exploring the “meaning” of money for each of you and your partner, we will turn towards the questions:

2. If we do some merging, what sorts of purchasing or other financial decisions would we want to know about or discuss before the other one takes action?

3. If we do some merging, who will be responsible for making sure bills are paid on time?

4. Which paychecks should go where? Should we keep accounts on autopay?

5. How to approach debt? Should we approach it together?
