5 tips to go from Lovebirds to Loaded Lovebirds!
Talking money with your partner can feel like stepping on stones while blindfolded. One
minute, you’re giggling over your favourite TV show, and the next, someone casually drops
the b-word—that’s right, budget.
1. Start Small – Baby Steps, Baby!
Before jumping into joint accounts and future plans, start simple—set a budget for
takeout or impulse buys. Easing into money talks makes them feel like a team huddle.
2. Get Real About Your Spending Habits
Love shopping for clothes while your partner splurges on daily lattes? No problem! Just
be honest about your money habits to stay financially aligned—minus the
passive-aggressive side-eye.
3. The Fun vs. Future
– Date Nights or Dream Life?
Enjoying date nights is great, but so is financial security. Try the 50/30/20 rule—50%
needs, 30% fun, 20% savings—so you can live the moment while securing your future.
4. Turn Oops into Opportunity
– You’re Both Learning!
That ₹20,000 impulse buy? Yikes. But instead of dwelling on it, learn from it! Set up an
emergency fund or swap a takeout night for homemade meals. Progress > Perfection!
5. The Couple’s Money Hack: A Joint “Dream Fund”
Want a vacation, a home, or a puppy? Open a joint “Dream Fund” account! Saving together
makes it exciting, and watching it grow makes every sacrifice worth it.
So, here’s to your loaded future—& FinanciallyEverAfter
