Ever heard of a money date? It's a thing. On a money date, spouses agree to get together to talk finances in a (allegedly) fun and non-threatening way. The idea is to keep on top of budgets and, perhaps more importantly, to work together on goal-setting.
The idea is to keep it affordable, so that might entail staying home with a good bottle of wine. Pro Tip: tackle the heavy lifting issues prior to finishing that first glass.
For singles: you can take yourself on a money date, too. This thing with money IS a relationship.
