Money Makes the World Go Round |

You really won’t get far in this world without money. And somehow, things like honesty, loyalty, ambition, hard work, and compassion have come to mean less and less. Since money is so important in the world today, it makes perfect sense that the meshing of two people would be a little bit messy. Sure, we can promise to love each other for the rest of our lives, through sickness and health, that’s easy! But the money part? That’s a little harder.
SourceOf all the many different aspects of our lives as independent human beings, I think that the one we want control over most is our financial situation. And that’s why it’s so incredibly difficult to join our finances with another person. If, God forbid, something were to happen to the relationship, money is really the biggest thing to worry about. How many couples getting a divorce end up going to court over money, the house, the furniture?? Our future outside of the relationship depends on the money that we make, and so we’ll fight tooth and nail to keep it. And we’re suddenly just expected to let go of all that? Let go of the ‘yours’ and ‘mine’ and change it to ‘ours’ just like that? Well, not just like that, but yes.
