- No secrets about money. Everything goes on the table.
- No blame game. It doesn’t help, it never works. Just don’t go there.
- Accept the past and let it go. Don’t look back you’re not going that way.
- Talk from your perspective rather than theirs. It helps to use ‘I’ instead of you.
- Don’t get emotional. When it comes to money, stick to facts.
- Cut to the WHY. Explain why something is important to you.
- There is no right or wrong. Only actions and consequences.
- Have a goal for each money date. What would you like to resolve by the end?
- Take notes. Agree on action points.
- Have fun. When you’re done enjoy your evening or time together.
