Finances and relationships

On episode five of the Money Matters podcast, Laura and Danni talk about how your financial situation can impact your relationship. This Christmas, there’s more pressure than usual to make the festivities go with a bang – but if that bang sends you way over budget, it can create tension. Particularly if one of you earns more than the other, or if one’s a saver and the other a spender. We hear from Peter Saddington from Relate about what couples can do about this, and why it’s important both partners have equal power over the family finances. We also get your top tips for enjoying the season without the financial hangover.
