Here at last is the lowdown on how to manage your finances
with the man in your life. Money is the #1 problem couples
fight about, says beloved Washington Post financial
columnist Michelle Singletary. Acknowledging that most
fights about money are usually about something else–like
feelings of fear or resentment–Singletary stresses the value
of open dialogue. In her trademark no-holds-barred style,
she shows us how to handle the entire range of financial
issues couples face–from splitting the dinner bill when
dating to planning for retirement together after years of
marriage. Singletary speaks to the hearts of women as
they try to successfully merge their money and future
security with those of their man. Acknowledging the
emotional weight of shared investments, she brings her own
experience as a wife and mother to the table and doles out
advice in a voice that, while encouraging and rational, is
never less than frank on tough topics. From sizing up a
potential mate’s financial responsibility (or lack thereof)
to figuring out how best to share bank accounts and expenses
once you’ve made the leap, to determining how to teach your
children about money, Your Money and Your Man focuses on the
undeniable role that finance plays in every stage of a
long-term relationship. Including typical questions from
readers of her syndicated column and advice from one of the
savviest financial experts she has ever known–her
grandmother–Singletary shows women that they can live
happily ever after with Prince Charming, even if he doesn’t
have a royal bank account!
